The BDNYC Database of Low Mass Stars, Brown Dwarfs, and Planetary Mass Companions

<p>We present a web-interface to a database of low-mass stars, brown dwarfs, and planetary mass companions: http://database.bdnyc.org/. Users can send SELECT SQL queries to the database, perform searches by coordinates or name, check the database inventory on specified objects, and even plot spectra interactively. The initial version of this database contains information for 198 objects and version 2 will contain over 1000 objects. The database currently includes photometric data from 2MASS, WISE, and Spitzer and version 2 will include a significant portion of the publicly available optical and NIR spectra for brown dwarfs. The database is maintained and curated by the BDNYC research group and we welcome contributions from other researchers via GitHub.
