Maps of the difference between the color-corrected SDSS magnitudes of stars and the internally-calibrated Pan-STARRS1 magnitudes of the same stars in the filters grizyp1 (rows). The x-axes give right ascension and the y-axes give declination. The rms of the maps is about 10 mmag. Narrow stripes in right ascension are symptomatic of problems with the SDSS photometric calibration, while rectangles in right ascension and declination indicate problems with the PS1 calibration.

39 PS1-only PMs: 1st optical candidate 2MASS J M6V Luhman (2006) as Taurus candidate?? PS1 PMs: +92±6, -36±5 mas/yr [no good match in PPMXL, USNO-B1, NOMAD] PS1 parallax: 19±7 mas vs. kinematic: 22±1 mas 19

40 PS1-only PMs: 2nd optical candidate LP PS1 PMs: +121± 7, 75±7 mas/yr vs. +113, 66 mas/yr* PS1 parallax: 21±5 mas vs. kinematic: 18±1 mas * Lépine & Shara (2005) 20

41 PS1 parallaxes of kinematic candidates Require baseline>1.5 years, 8+ detections, good PM, π 50% of the area after two seasons objects with large PMs 400 kin. candidates 160 candidates based on PS1 parallax Still requires photometric parallax confirmation 21

43 Conclusions Derived the MF to 0.1M to larger cluster radii double the numbers of candidates with m<0.15m depletion of UCDs in the centre Cluster simulations provide a roughly good picture Multi-band coverage and astrometry improve purity soon parallaxes to allow search for nearby BD members will provide nearby, known-age BDs & good targets for highresolution imaging for fainter companions 22
