AST-0123304Graham, James R.The solar neighborhood within 50 parsecs will be examined for spectral type L and T dwarf companions using the adaptive optics system at the Advanced Electro-Optical System telescope on Haleakela, Maui Hawaii. Late-type binaries of low magnitude contrast will be examined to search for these companions. So few of these stars are known to exist today using classical techniques of observation, that discovery of new ones, which may result from the application of adaptive optics, will have a profound effect on our understanding of these objects. ***

AST-0123304Graham，James R.将在50个Parsecs内的太阳能社区使用Adaptive Optics System在Haleakela，Maui Hawaii上的高级电光系统望远镜上使用自适应光学系统进行检查。 将检查低幅度对比度的晚期二进制物以寻找这些同伴。 因此，如今，很少有这些恒星使用经典的观察技术存在，因此，发现新的恒星可能是由于适应性光学的应用而导致的，这将对我们对这些物体的理解产生深远的影响。 ***
