Title:  Searching for Binary Y dwarfs with the Gemini GeMS Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics System.

Abstract:
The NASA Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) has delivered an exceptional harvest of new ultra-cool Y-type brown dwarfs. We present results from a diffraction-limited study of the binary status of a sample of Y dwarfs observed with the Gemini GeMS Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics system.
