Scientific paper

We propose to obtain IRS short-low spectroscopy and IRAC photometry of a statistically complete, volume-limited (d<20pc) sample of 48 L dwarfs. These observations will provide the greatly needed data to constrain the properties of the dust clouds present in L dwarfs as well as the fundamental physical properties such as effective temperature, gravity, and metallicity. The mid-infrared observations will be combined with optical and near-infrared to compile a detailed spectral energy distribution for each object. With this extensive spectral coverage of the nearest and brightest objects, this dataset will prove to be the reference for L dwarf spectrophotometric standards.
