Early LSST data recovers known ultracool dwarfs and yields 89 candidates with 17 unique to this work, forecasting over 17,000 detections in Data Preview 2 using synthetic populations.
SPHEREx spectra of 37 field brown dwarfs show atmospheric models struggle with J/H/K peaks and 4um window especially at L/T transition, with data preferring weak-mixing Elf Owl models.
Spectroscopic survey of IC 1396 identifies 25 new brown dwarfs and measures a star-to-brown-dwarf ratio of 5.0±0.4 that is consistent with other young clusters.
ZTF data yielded 32 robust ultracool dwarf rotation periods including 12 new detections, with a trend of decreasing periods toward later spectral types in dwarfs older than 100 Myr.
