We also present additional follow-up information on twelve candidates selected using WISE data but previously published elsewhere. The new discoveries include fifteen M dwarfs, seventeen L dwarfs, five T dwarfs, and five objects of other type. Among these discoveries is a newly identified \"unusually red L dwarf\" (WISE J223527.07+451140.9), four peculiar L dwarfs whose spectra are most readily explained as unresolved L+T binary systems, and a T9 dwarf (WISE J124309.61+844547.8). We also show that the recently discovered red L dwarf WISEP J004701.06+680352.1 (Gizis et al. 2012) may be a low-gravity object and hence young and potentially low mass (< 25 MJup).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-05-20T17:51:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "wide-field infrared survey explorer", "immediate solar neighborhood", "additional follow-up information", "forty-two low-mass star", "brown dwarf candidates" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1086/671426", "journal": "Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific", "year": 2013, "month": "Jul", "volume": 125, "number": 929, "pages": 809 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 87, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1234205, "adsabs": "2013PASP..125..809T" } } }
