BDSS Low-Res: The NIRSPEC Brown Dwarf Spectroscopic Survey. Low-Resolution Data.

This site is build as a basis to provide Virtual Observatory access to the Low Resolution spectral library in the NIRSPEC Brown Dwarf Spectroscopic Survey.

A dedicated web site can be found here.

The Brown Dwarf Spectroscopic Survey (BDSS), established in 1998 by Dr. Ian McLean in collaboration with Dr. J. Davy Kirkpatrick at IPAC, is designed to study near-infrared moderate-to-high resolution spectra for a large sample of low-mass stars and sub-stellar mass objects in the M and newly defined L and T dwarf classes. The BDSS was initiated following the successful first light commissioning of the Keck-II Near-Infrared Spectrometer (NIRSPEC) in April 1999.
