Citing this table

This table has an associated publication. If you use data from it, it may be appropriate to reference http://www.dwarfArchives.org either in addition to or instead of the service reference.

To cite the table as such, we suggest the following BibTeX entry:

@MISC{vo:browndwarfs_cat,
  year=2008,
  title={{DwarfArchives}.org – Photometry, spectroscopy, and astrometry of L, T,
and Y dwarfs},
  author={Gelino, C. and Kirkpatrick, D. and Burgasser, A.},
  url={http://dc.zah.uni-heidelberg.de/tableinfo/browndwarfs.cat},
  howpublished={{VO} resource provided by the {GAVO} Data Center}
}

If this table has been useful to you, please acknowledge: This research has benefitted from the M, L, and T dwarf compendium housed at DwarfArchives.org and maintained by Chris Gelino, Davy Kirkpatrick, and Adam Burgasser.
