J. Davy Kirkpatrick Biography

J. Davy Kirkpatrick is one of the most popular and richest Astronomer who was born on July 28, 1964 in United States.

Much of Kirkpatrick’s research has concentrated on the discovery and characterization of the lowest mass stars and brown dwarfs. After refining the far optical and near-infrared classifications of M dwarfs in the early 1990s and publishing the first spectrum of the brown dwarf candidate GD 165B, which would later be referred to as the first L dwarf discovery, Kirkpatrick joined the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) team to search for even colder objects. Along with Neill Reid, he uncovered many objects similar to and colder than GD 165B, leading to the definition of the L dwarf spectral class. Also using 2MASS data, he and graduate student Adam Burgasser discovered brown dwarfs even colder than spectral class L, leading to the establishment of the T dwarf spectral class. More recently, as a member of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) team, Kirkpatrick and his research group have uncovered even colder brown dwarfs, leading to the establishment, with postdoc Michael Cushing, of the Y dwarf spectral class.

J. Davy Kirkpatrick is an American astronomer at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.
