Abstract:
We present a new census of the stellar and substellar members of the
young cluster IC 348. We have obtained images at I and Z for a 42'x28'
field encompassing the cluster and have combined these measurements
with previous optical and near-infrared photometry. From spectroscopy
of candidate cluster members appearing in these data, we have
identified 122 new members, 15 of which have spectral types of M6.5M9,
corresponding to masses of ∼0.08-0.015M☉ by recent evolutionary
models. The latest census for IC 348 now contains a total of 288
members, 23 of which are later than M6 and thus are likely to be brown
dwarfs.
Description:
Images of the IC 348 cluster were obtained with the CFH12K camera on
the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope on the night of 1999 September 30.

Note (1): the flag has the following meaning:
h = Sources 1, 6, 9, 52, 86, 92, 221, and 226 are resolved as binaries with
separations of 0.61, 0.559, 0.409, 1.028, 0.249, 0.26, 0.13, and 0.70
arcseconds and magnitude differences of ΔH = 0.14, 1.49, 1.84,
1.48, 0.67, 0.67, 1.35, and 0.75, respectively (Duchene et al.,
1999A&A...343..831D 1999A&A...343..831D).
i = R-I and JHKs are for A+B.

coordinates are from the I-band images in this work.
Note (3): Measurement uncertainties for the optical spectral types from
Luhman (1999, Cat. J/ApJ/525/466) and this work are ±0.5 and 0.25
subclass for K and M types, respectively, unless noted otherwise. For
Hα equivalent widths from Luhman et al. (1998ApJ...508..347L 1998ApJ...508..347L),
Luhman (1999, Cat. J/ApJ/525/466), and this work, uncertainties are
