We have obtained a new, deep, wide-field optical imaging survey of the young Alpha Persei cluster which reveals a well-populated lower main sequence extending...
We have discovered a relatively large number of brown dwarf candidates in the Pleiades young open cluster as a result of a deep CCD IZ survey covering 1 deg^2...
In this invited talk, I briefly summarise early photometric and proper motion surveys carried out in the nearest and youngest open clusters to introduce the...
Two new late-type L subdwarfs were discovered in our recent search of UKIDSS and SDSS. We discuss the signatures of halo brown dwarfs based on known and new L...
Brown dwarfs: the bridge between stars and planets
Brown dwarfs are objects with masses, effective temperatures and luminosities intermediate between those of very low-mass stars and the most massive giant...
