Since commissioning the near-infrared spectrometer (NIRSPEC) on the Keck II telescope in April 1999 we have been carrying out an extensive spectroscopic survey of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs. At least two objects in every spectral sub-class from M6 to T8 have been observed in the J band at a resolution of R ~ 2,000. For a subset of these we have obtained complete near-infrared flux-calibrated spectra from 0.9 - 2.5 μm. In addition, J band spectra at even higher resolution (R ~ 20,000) have been obtained for many sub-classes. The results of the NIRSPEC Brown Dwarf Spectroscopic Survey (BDSS) are summarized in this paper and presented as an illustration of the progress in infrared technology and the scientific productivity of the Keck telescopes.
