Current research interests

Low-Mass Brown dwarfs in IC 4665

Analysing Y, J, H, and Ks WIRCam images to get a good catalogue of objects to probe into the very low-mass domain.

Part of collaborative work with the IAP in Tenerife with regard to UKIDSS and MEGACam/WIRCam data.


Methane brown dwarfs (T-dwarfs) in the Star Forming Region IC348.

From three candidate T-dwarfs and after being constrained by colour/colour colour/mag plots using data from MEGACam z', WIRCam J,H,K,CH4on/off filters, and Spitzer IRAC/MIPS, we have one good candidate and two rejected candidates due to their very blue z'-J colour.
