We conducted a deep multi-band (Y=21.2, J=20.5, Z=22.0mag) photometric survey of six square degrees in the central region of Upper Scorpius. We extend the current sequence of astrometric and spectroscopic members by about two magnitudes in Y and one magnitude in J, reaching potentially T-type free-floating members in the association with predicted masses below 5 Jupiter masses, well into the planetary-mass regime. We extracted a sample of 57 candidates in this area and present infrared spectroscopy confirming two of them as young L-type members with characteristic spectral features of 10Myr-old brown dwarfs. Among the 57 candidates, we highlight 10 new candidates fainter than the coolest members previously confirmed spectroscopically. We do not see any obvious sign of decrease in the mass spectrum of the association, suggesting that star processes can form substellar objects with masses down to 4-5 Jupiter masses. Description: This study makes use of two different but complementary VISTA surveys. VISTA is a 4-m telescope based in Paranal (Chile) and equipped with the VISTA InfraRed CAMera (VIRCAM; field of view of 1.65deg2). On the one hand, we re-processed the deep VISTA ZYJ survey described in Lodieu et al. (2013, J/MNRAS/435/2474). On the other hand, we conducted a deeper Y-band survey with VISTA/VIRCAM to be sensitive to fainter and cooler USco members because the first epoch was limited in depth by the Y and Z filters. We observed four VISTA/VIRCam tiles in the Y-band filter (centered at 1.02±0.10um) between May and July 2016 as part of ESO program 095.C-0781(A) (PI Lodieu). We also conducted observations with the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC; field of view 1.5deg in diameter) on the 8.2m Subaru telescope in Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The observations were collected in service mode on 25 May 2020 between UT=10h58 and 12h40 as part of programme S20A-QN098 (PI Lodieu).

This file zyj.dat 591 617715 *Sources in the VISTA ZYJ survey subaru.dat 687 162735 *Sources in the VISTA+Subaru fields -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note on zyj.dat: We list all Y,J sources in an area of about 6 square degrees in the central region of the Upper Sco association and detected at 2.8 sigma in 4 VISTA VIRCAM tiles (Table 1 in paper) based on the cross-match of the Y and J catalogues with a matching radius of 3 arcsec. We cross-matched this catalogue with the Z-band detections presented in Lodieu et al. (2013, J/MNRAS/435/2474). We added the corresponding detections with information from several public surveys (Pan-Starrs, UKIDSS, AllWISE, 2MASS). Note on subaru.dat: We cross-match zyj.dat with the catalogue of sources detected in the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam survey conducted in a 1.5 square degree area centered at RA=16h13m,dec=22d36'. We removed saturated sources (typically brighter than Z=17.5mag) and extended sources as well as those with poor PSF fitting. The Subaru catalogue includes identifiers, coordinates, Z photometry with its associated error, classification (point or extended source), and flag in addition to all the information from the other table. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See also: II/246 : 2MASS All-Sky Catalog of Point Sources (Cutri+ 2003) II/319 : UKIDSS-DR9 LAS, GCS and DXS Surveys (Lawrence+ 2012) II/328 : AllWISE Data Release (Cutri+ 2013) III/334 : VISTA Deep Extragalactic Observations (VIDEO) (Jarvis+, 2013) II/349 : The Pan-STARRS release 1 (PS1) Survey - DR1 (Chambers+, 2016) II/367 : The VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS) catalog DR5 (McMahon+, 2020) J/MNRAS/435/2474 : USco ZYJHK1K2 photometry and proper motions (Lodieu+, 2013) Byte-by-byte Description of file: zyj.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 11 F11.7 deg RAdeg [240.93/244.11] Y2 right ascension in decimal degrees (J2000) (RA_Y2) 13- 23 F11.7 deg DEdeg [-23.7/-21.57] Y2 declination in decimal degrees (J2000) (DEC_Y2) 25- 30 F6.3 mag Y2mag [12.75/24.4] VISTA/VIRCam Y2 band magnitude (psfMag_Y2) 32- 36 F5.3 mag e_Y2mag [0.003/0.6] Uncertainty on the Y2mag (psfMagErr_Y2) 38- 43 F6.3 --- Y2sharp [-0.5/0.5] Y2 sharpness (sharp_Y2) 45- 49 F5.3 --- Y2Chi2 [0.24/3] Y2 fit χ2 (chi2_Y2) 51- 61 F11.7 deg RAJ1deg [240.93/244.11] J1 right ascension (RA_J1) 63- 73 F11.7 deg DEJ1deg [-23.7/-21.57] J1 declination (DEC_J1) 75- 80 F6.3 mag J1mag [12.43/23.1] VISTA/VIRCam J1 band magnitude (psfMag_J1) 82- 86 F5.3 mag e_J1mag [0.003/0.6] Uncertainty on the J1mag (psfMagErr_J1) 88- 93 F6.3 --- J1sharp [-0.5/0.5] J1 sharpness (sharp_J1) 95- 99 F5.3 --- J1Chi2 [0.19/3] J1 fit χ2 (chi2_J1) 101- 122 F22.17 mas/yr pmRA [-721.6/721.6] Proper motion in right ascension direction (pmRA*cosDE) 124- 145 F22.17 mas/yr pmDE [-719.9/722.7] Proper motion in declination direction (pmDEC) 147- 167 E21.19 arcsec SepY2J1 [0/3] Separation between Y2 and J1 coordinates (SepY2J1) 169- 179 F11.7 deg RAZ1deg [240.93/244.11]?=- VISTA/VIRCam Z1 right ascension (RA_Z1) 181- 191 F11.7 deg DEZ1deg [-23.7/-21.57]?=- Z1 declination (DEC_Z1) 193- 198 F6.3 mag Z1mag [12.9/24.7]?=- VISTA/VIRCam Z1 band magnitude (psfMag_Z1) 200- 204 F5.3 mag e_Z1mag [0.003/0.6]?=- Uncertainty on the Z1mag (psfMagErr_Z1) 206- 211 F6.3 --- Z1sharp [-7.8/2.6]?=- Z1 sharpness (sharp_Z1) 213- 219 F7.4 --- Z1Chi2 [0.19/27.3]?=- Z1 fit χ2 (chi2_Z1) 221- 241 E21.19 arcsec SepY2Z1 [0/3]?=- Separation between Y2 and Z1 coordinates (SepY2Z1) 243- 252 F10.6 deg RAGdeg [240.93/244.11]?=- UKIDSS-DR9 (II/319) GSC right ascension (J2000) at Ep=EpochG (ra_GCSDR9) 254- 263 F10.6 deg DEGdeg [-23.7/-21.57]?=- UKIDSS-DR9 (II/319) GSC declination (J2000) at Ep=EpochG (dec_GCSDR9) 265 I1 mag ZmagAp ?
