Abstract: |
This is a preliminary report on our VRIJHK survey centered on the
region around Orion's belt. We observed ∼9 deg2 at VRI with
the MOSAIC camera and ∼7 deg2 at JHK with the NEWFIRM camera
on the KPNO 4m telescope. Our survey will produce a list of
photometrically selected candidate very low-mass stars and brown
dwarfs with masses down to 10 Jupiter masses (MJ). We discuss the
status of our data reductions, and preliminary work on the NEWFIRM
photometry. |
