Scientific paper

We present findings from our search of the latest releases of SDSS and UKIDSS LAS for very widely separated white dwarf - ultracool dwarf binaries. Ultracool dwarfs found in such binary systems could be used as benchmark objects, whose properties, such as age and distance can be inferred indirectly from the white dwarf primary (with no need to refer to atmospheric models) and can provide a test bed for theoretical models, they can therefore be used observationally pin down how physical properties affect ultracool dwarf spectra.
