34 Low-mass comoving systems astrometry using NSC DR2

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present the discovery of 34 comoving systems containing an ultracool dwarf found by means of the NOIRLab Source Catalog (NSC) DR2.

Description

NSC's angular resolution of ~1" allows for the detection of small separation binaries with significant proper motions. We used the catalog's accurate proper motion measurements to identify the companions by cross-matching a previously compiled list of brown dwarf candidates with NSC DR2.

The comoving pairs consist of either a very low-mass star and an ultracool companion, or a white dwarf and an ultracool companion. The estimated spectral types of the primaries are in the K and M dwarf regimes, those of the secondaries in the M, L, and T dwarf regimes. We calculated angular separations between ~2" and ~56", parallactic distances between ~43 and ~261pc, and projected physical separations between ~169 and ~8487au.

The lowest measured total proper motion is 97mas/yr, with the highest 314mas/yr. Tangential velocities range from ~23 to ~187km/s. We also determined comoving probabilities, estimated mass ratios, and calculated binding energies for each system.

We found no indication of possible binarity for any component of the 34 systems in the published literature. The discovered systems can contribute to the further study of the formation and evolution of low-mass systems as well as to the characterization of cool substellar objects.
