New brown dwarf companions to dM(e) stars
arXiv:astro-ph/0509255 · doi:10.1002/asna.200510456
Abstract
We present new astrometric and spectroscopic data to confirm two new M/L dwarf systems, G124-62 and LHS5166, and discuss the nature of a third system (LP261-75). Age and thus mass determinations of the L dwarf companions are discussed based on various activity-age relationships of the M dwarf primaries. This publication will update the list of widely separated substellar companions to nearby stars.
