Scientific paper

The 2MASS survey allows large numbers of the new class of L dwarfs to be identified. Spectroscopic studies show that most of these objects are brown dwarfs. We propose to use K-band infrared spectroscopy to determine spectral types for over 100 L dwarfs. This will place the field L dwarf substellar luminosity function on a firm statistical basis, and allow modelling of the substellar mass function.
