L Dwarfs Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Imaging Data
Open accessAbstract
This paper describes the discovery of seven dwarf objects of spectral type `L' (objects cooler than the latest M dwarfs) in commissioning imaging data taken by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Low-resolution spectroscopy shows that these objects have spectral types from L0 to L8. Comparison of the SDSS and 2MASS photometry for several of these objects indicates the presence of significant opacity at optical wavelengths, perhaps due to atmospheric dust. This comparison also demonstrates the high astrometric accuracy (better than 1'' for these faint sources) of both surveys. The L dwarfs are shown to occupy a distinctive region of color-color space as measured in the SDSS filters, which should enable their identification in a straightforward way. This should lead eventually to a complete sample of many hundreds of these low mass objects, or about one per 15 square degrees to i'~20, in the complete SDSS data set.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
