We have carried out a search for late-type T dwarfs in the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey Galactic Plane Survey 6th Data Release. The search yielded two persuasive candidates, both of which have been confirmed as T dwarfs. The brightest, UGPS J0521+3640, has been assigned the spectral type T8.5 and appears to lie at a distance of 7-9 pc. The fainter of the two, UGPS J0652+0324, is classified as a T5.5 dwarf and lies at an estimated distance of 28-37 pc. Warm-Spitzer observations in IRAC channels 1 and 2, taken as part of the GLIMPSE360 Legacy Survey, are available for UGPS J0521+3640 and we used these data with the near-infrared spectroscopy to estimate its properties. We find best-fitting solar metallicity BT-Settl models for T-eff = 600 and 650 K and log g = 4.5 and 5.0. These parameters suggest a mass between 14 and 32M(J) for an age between 1 and 5 Gyr. The proximity of this very cool T dwarf, and its location in the Galactic plane, makes it an ideal candidate for high-resolution adaptive optics imaging to search for cool companions.

| We thank our colleagues in the GLIMPSE360 team for providing this deep panoramic Legacy data set, which complements the UKIDSS GPS excellently. We thank Barbara Whitney, Brian Babler and Robert Benjamin for a helpful discussion of the Spitzer photometry. We thank Janet Drew for checking our candidates against the IPHAS data. This study is based on observations made under project A22TAC_96 on the Italian Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) operated on the island of La Palma by the Fundacion Galileo Galilei of the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica at the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias and on observations obtained via program GN-2010B-Q-41 at the Gemini Observatory, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under a cooperative agreement with the NSF on behalf of the Gemini partnership: the National Science Foundation (United States), Science and Technology Facilities Council (United Kingdom), National Research Council (Canada), CONICYT (Chile), Australian Research Council (Australia), Ministerio da Ciencia e Tecnologia (Brazil) and Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnologia e Innovacion Productiva (Argentina). SKL's research is supported by the Gemini Observatory. CGT is supported by ARC grant DP0774000. ACD-J is supported by a Fondecyt postdoctorado fellowship, under project number 3100098. This research has made use of the SIMBAD data base, operated at CDS, Strasbourg, France, and has benefited from the SpeX Prism Spectral Libraries maintained by Adam Burgasser at http://www.browndwarfs.org/spexprism.

NL acknowledges funding from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation through the Ramon y Cajal fellowship number 08-303-01-02 and the project number AYA2010-19136. The authors wish to recognize and acknowledge the very significant cultural role and reverence that the summit of Mauna Kea has always had within the indigenous Hawaiian community. We are most fortunate to have the opportunity to conduct observations from this mountain. |
