1 Brown Dwarfs in the Era of WISE Michael Cushing University of Toledo WISE at Feb-10
2 Brown dwarfs were baked into WISE From the 1998 proposal for the Next Generation Sky Survey (NGSS): The primary scientific objectives of NGSS are: The nature and evolutionary history of ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs), and the identification of the single most luminous galaxy in the universe ( A.1.2.4). The space density, mass function, and formation history of brown dwarf stars in the solar neighborhood. NGSS will be exceptionally sensitive to old, cold brown dwarf stars with T ~ K (Jupiter-Gliese 229B), among which is likely to be the nearest star to the sun ( A.1.2.5).

Color color diagram the locations interesting classes of 10 objects. Stars and early-type galaxies have colors near zero, while brown dwarfs are very red in W1 W2, spiral galaxies are red in W2 W3, and ULIRGS tend to be red in both colors.
