Descripción
We have made a search (to Y=19.6) of the UKIDSS Large Area Survey (LAS
DR7) for objects detected only in the Y-band. We have identified and
removed contamination due to solar system objects, dust specs in the
WFCAM optical path, persistence in the WFCAM detectors, and other
sources of spurious single source Y-detections in the UKIDSS LAS
data-base. In addition to our automated selection procedure we have
visually inspected the ˜600 automatically selected candidates to
provide an additional level of quality filtering. This has resulted in
55 good candidates that await follow-up observations to confirm their
nature. Ultra-cool LAS Y-only objects would have blue Y-J colours
combined with very red optical-NIR SEDs - characteristics shared by
Jupiter, and suggested by an extrapolation of the Y-J colour trend seen
for the latest T dwarfs currently known.
