Sub-stellar objects with habitable-zone temperatures: A new search for Y dwarfs in WISE
A method is defined for using the maximum sensitivity of WISE to find late T and Y dwarfs. This requires a WISE detection only in the W2-band and uses the statistical properties of the WISE multi-frame measurements and profile fit photometry to reject contamination resulting from non-point-like obje...
