Abstract

We report on the progress of the Brown Dwarf Kinematics Project (BDKP), which aims to measure the 6D positions and velocities of all known brown dwarfs within 20 pc of the Sun and select sources of scientific interest. In this paper we report on the status of the 33 targets on our parallax list as well as the results of our proper motion survey where we have measured over 400 new proper motions for known late M, L and T dwarfs.
