[3.01] An infrared spectral sequence into the brown dwarf regime

H.R.A. Jones (LJMU)

A spectral sequence from mid-type M dwarfs into the brown dwarf regime is presented. These spectra cover the wavelength range 0.8 to 2.4 microns and measure the peak of the spectral energy distribution for these extremely red objects. The spectra were taken with the Hubble Space Telescope and represent an infrared spectra of M dwarfs and brown dwarfs which are free from the problems of correcting for the terrestial atmospheric absorption.
