The discovery of y dwarfs using data from the wide-field infrared survey explorer (WISE)
We present the discovery of seven ultracool brown dwarfs identified with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Near-infrared spectroscopy reveals deep absorption bands of H[subscript 2]O and CH[subscript 4] that indicate all seven of the brown dwarfs have spectral types later than UGPS J07...
