A search for J-band variability from late-L and T brown dwarfs

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 386:4 (2008) 2009-2014

Abstract:

We present J-band photometric observations of eight late-L and T type brown dwarfs designed to search for variability. We detect small amplitude periodic variability from three of the objects on time-scales of several hours, probably indicating the rotation period of the objects. The other targets do not show any variability down to the level of 0.5-5 per cent © 2008 RAS.
