Hip 63510C, Hip 73786B, and nine new isolated high proper motion T dwarf
  candidates from UKIDSS DR6 and SDSS DR7
  Aims: Completing the poorly known substellar census of the solar
neighbourhood, especially with respect to the coolest brown dwarfs, will lead
to a better understanding of failed star formation processes and binary
statistics with different environmental conditions. Methods: Using UKIDSS data
and their cross-correlation with the SDSS, we searched for high proper motion
mid- to late-T dwarf candidates with extremely blue near-infrared (J-K<0) and
very red optical-to-near-infrared (z-J>+2.5) colours. Results: With 11 newly
found T dwarf candidates, the proper motions of which range between 100 and 800
mas/yr, we increased the number of UKIDSS T dwarf discoveries by $\approx$30%.
Large proper motions were also measured for six of eight previously known
T4.5-T9 dwarfs detected in our survey. All new candidates can be classified as
T5-T9 dwarfs based on their colours. Two of these objects were found to be
common proper motion companions of Hipparcos stars with accurate parallaxes.
The latter allow us to determine absolute magnitudes from which we classify Hip
63510C as T7 and Hip 73786B as T6.5 dwarfs with an uncertainty of $\pm$1
spectral subtype. The projected physical separation from their low-mass (M0.5
and K5) primaries is in both cases about 1200 AU. One of the Hipparcos stars
has already a known very low-mass star or brown dwarf companion on a close
astrometric orbit (Hip 63510B = Gl 494B). With distances of only 11.7 and 18.6
pc, deduced from their primaries respectively for Hip 63510C and Hip 73786B,
various follow-up observations can easily be carried out to study these cool
brown dwarfs in more detail and to compare their properties with those of the
already well-investigated primaries.
