A systematic search for low-mass companions orbiting nearby stars and the calibration of the end of the stellar main sequence.
We have completed a search for low luminosity companions, including high mass brown dwarfs, to all M dwarfs known within eight parsecs of the sun, and north of -25°. We found six new companions orbiting the survey stars. The masses of the six new secondaries fall between 0.39 and 0.05 M(⊙). Three of...
