The discovery of epsilon Indi Ba, Bb, a binary brown dwarf system very close to the Sun, makes possible a concerted campaign to characterise the physical parameters of two T dwarfs. Recent observations suggest substellar atmospheric and…

We have carried out high angular resolution near-infrared imaging and low-resolution (R~1000) spectroscopy of the nearest known brown dwarf, Eps Indi B, using the ESO VLT NAOS/CONICA adaptive optics system. We find it to be a close binary…

We have imaged $\epsilon$ Indi B, the closest brown dwarf binary known, with VISIR at the VLT in three narrow-band mid-infrared bandpasses located around 8.6$\mu$m, 10.5$\mu$m and 11.3$\mu$m. We are able to spatially resolve both…

We report on the analysis of high-resolution infrared spectra of the newly discovered brown dwarf Epsilon Indi Ba. This is the closest known brown dwarf to the solar system, with a distance of 3.626 pc. Spectra covering the ranges of…

The relative roles of metallicity and surface gravity on the near-infrared spectra of late-T brown dwarfs are not yet fully understood, and evolutionary models still need to be calibrated in order to provide accurate estimates of brown…

We present preliminary astrometric results for the closest known brown dwarf binary to the Sun: Epsilon Indi Ba, Bb at a distance of 3.626 pc. Via ongoing monitoring of the relative separation of the two brown dwarfs (spectral types T1 and…

We have identified a new early T dwarf only 3.6pc from the Sun, as a common proper motion companion (separation 1459AU) to the K5V star Epsilon Indi (HD209100). As such, Epsilon Indi B is one of the highest proper motion sources outside the…

We present the results of 14 nights of \textit{I}-band photometric monitoring of the nearby brown dwarf binary, $\epsilon$ Indi Ba,Bb. Observations were acquired over 2 months, and total close to 42 hours of coverage at a typically high…

We report individual dynamical masses of $66.92 \pm 0.36 \; M_{Jup}$ and $53.25 \pm 0.29 \; M_{Jup}$ for the binary brown dwarfs $\varepsilon$ Indi Ba and Bb, measured from long term ($\approx 10$ yr) relative orbit monitoring and absolute…

Eps Ind A is one of the nearest sun-like stars, located only 3.6 pc away. It is known to host a binary brown dwarf companion, Eps Ind Ba/Bb, at a large projected separation of 6.7", but radial velocity measurements imply that an additional,…

Benchmark brown dwarfs in wide binary systems are crucial for characterizing substellar objects and calibrating atmospheric and evolutionary models. However, brown dwarf benchmarks with subsolar metallicity, very cool temperatures, or…

We present deep observations of the nearby T-type brown dwarf binary $\epsilon$ Indi Bab in radio with the Australia Telescope Compact Array and in X-rays with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Despite long integration times, the binary…

The determination of the fundamental properties (mass, separation, age, gravity and atmospheric properties) of brown dwarf companions allows us to infer crucial informations on their formation and evolution mechanisms. Spectroscopy of…

Context: Brown dwarfs exhibit complex atmospheric signatures, and their properties depend sensitively on effective temperature, surface gravity, and metallicity. Several physical properties of brown dwarfs in binary systems can be well…

Epsilon Indi A b is a directly imaged $\sim6 M_{\rm Jup}$ exoplanet orbiting a nearby (3.6 pc) K-dwarf at $\sim 30$ AU. We analyze archival JWST/MIRI 15 $\mu$m coronagraphic imaging of this planet to search for directly imaged satellites…

We report individual dynamical masses for the brown dwarfs Epsilon Indi B and C, which have spectral types of T1.5 and T6, respectively, measured from astrometric orbit mapping. Our measurements are based on a joint analysis of astrometric…

We present the results of a simulation to investigate the prospects of measuring mass, age, radius, metallicity and luminosity data for brown dwarfs in fully eclipsing binary systems around late K and early M dwarfs identified by…

The determination of the brown dwarf binary fraction may contribute to the understanding of the substellar formation mechanisms. Unresolved brown dwarf binaries may be revealed through their peculiar spectra or the discrepancy between…

We present results from a Hubble Space Telescope imaging search for low-mass binary and planetary companions to 33 nearby brown dwarfs with spectral types of T8-Y1. Our survey provides new photometric information for these faint systems,…

Since October of 1995, employing Doppler spectroscopy astronomers have discovered as many as 20 giant planets and brown dwarfs, including companions to $\tau$ Boo, 51 Peg, $\upsilon$ And, 55 Cnc, $\rho$ CrB, 70 Vir, 16 Cyg B, and 47 UMa.…
