Then we confirmed their status with SDSS spectra. The candidates without SDSS spectra are cross matched in the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) and the Fourth Data Release of the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS DR4). With the help of colors based on SDSS, 2MASS and UKIDSS, we are able to estimate spectral types of our candidates. We obtain reliable proper motions using positional and epoch information downloaded direct from the survey databases.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-01-21T20:50:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "large area surveys", "ultra-cool dwarfs", "ukirt infrared deep sky survey", "sdss spectra", "sloan digital sky survey" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 813406, "adsabs": "2009arXiv0902.2677Z" } } }
