Abstract

Preliminary results from a deep R, I and Z band survey of ~ 6 square degrees of the Taurus Dark Cloud region are presented. 186 potential brown dwarfs have been unearthed, with seven having follow-up spectroscopic data. The spectra reveal three mid/late-type M dwarfs, of which two show weak Hα emission. If these objects are members of the TDC region, theoretical models suggest masses in the range 10 – 20 MJ.
