Scientific paper

I present the Very-Low-Mass Binaries Archive, a website that contains an up-to-date list of all stellar and substellar binary systems whose total system masses are less than 0.2 solar masses. This includes brown dwarfs and planetary systems. The Archive targets both theorists and observers interested in understanding the empirical data of this subject which hopefully will aid in understanding formation mechanisms and system evolution. For example, I will present evidence from the Archive showing young binary systems (less than 10 Myr) have different properties than older field systems suggesting an evolutionary progression. I also present a newly discovered brown dwarf resolved 66 mas from its companion, an L5 dwarf, using laser guide star adaptive optics from the Keck II telescope.
