Abstract (from CDS):

We present Gemini Observatory follow-up J-band and K-band photometry for a sample of 16 T/Y dwarf candidates discovered by the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project. The Gemini observations were taken with Gemini-North using the Near-Infrared Imager instrument between 2017 September and 2018 March. Obtaining near-infrared photometry of very cold brown dwarfs is important for enabling and prioritizing future spectroscopic follow-up, particularly in the context of JWST spectroscopy of T and Y dwarfs.
