Scientific paper

We present the latest results in a near-infrared photometric search for unresolved ultra-cool companions and debris disks to white dwarfs in UKIDSS. Twenty five DA white dwarfs were identified as having multiple excesses indicative of a low mass companion, with 8-10 of these having a predicted mass in the range associated with brown dwarfs. The results of this survey show that the unresolved (<2'') brown dwarf companion fraction to DA white dwarfs is 0.3<=fWD+BD<=1.3%.
