SUMMARY:Studying the Halo via Its NEarby low-mass Dwarfs
DESCRIPTION:Studying the Halo via Its NEarby low-mass Dwarfs\nDr. ZengHua Z
 hang\n\n \nStudying the Halo via Its NEarby low-mass Dwarfs (SHINED) 
 is an ongoing project aiming to understand the Galactic halo with metal-de
 ficient low-mass stars (LMS) and brown dwarfs (BD). At the first stage of 
 the project we are focusing on the discovery and characterisation of halo 
 LMS and BD. I give an overview of the SHINED project then brief discuss th
 e proprieties of halo LMS and BD. I introduce the main results of our work
  on red subdwarf binaries (Zhang et al. MNRAS, 434, 1005). I talk more abo
 ut our work on the search of L subdwarfs from SDSS and UKIDSS. I discuss t
 he spectral types of L subdwarfs, and spectral signature of halo BD. I als
 o discuss the location of the Substellar Subdwarf Gap predicted by low-mas
 s evolutionary models.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
