Searching for T Dwarfs Within the Spitzer XFLS

Abstract

One of the main advantages of the Spitzer Space Telescope are the Extragalactic and Galactic First Look Survey (XFLS, FLS) created during the first months of nominal operations. The IRAC instrument, especially, allowed simultaneous observations in multiple bands of these large areas of sky available to the astronomical community. We have decided to exploit the XFLS for a brown dwarf search, as well as the GFLS. In this paper, we report on the progress on our search within the XFLS.
