Ultra-cool dwarfs at low Galactic latitudes

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present an ultra-cool dwarf (UCD) catalogue compiled from low southern Galactic latitudes and mid-plane, from a cross-correlation of the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) and the SuperCOSMOS survey.

Description

The catalogue contains 246 members identified from 5042deg^2^ within 220{deg}<=l<=360{deg} and 0{deg}<l<=30{deg}, for |b|<=15{deg}. Sixteen candidates are spectroscopically confirmed in the near-infrared as UCDs with spectral types from M7.5V to L9, the latest being the unusual blue L dwarf 2MASSJ11263991-5003550.

Our catalogue selection method is presented enabling UCDs from ~M8V to the L-T transition to be selected down to a 2MASS limiting magnitude of Ks=~14.5mag (for S/N>=10).
