Constraints on the Space Density of Methane Dwarfs and the Substellar Mass Function from a Deep Near-Infrared Survey

{{output}}
We report preliminary results of a deep near-infrared search for methane-absorbing brown dwarfs; almost 5 yr after the discovery of Gl 229b, there are only a few confirmed examples of this type of object. New J-band, wide-field images, combined with preexistin... ...
