SUMMARY:Searching for Warm Planets around Ultracool Dwarfs
DESCRIPTION:Searching for Warm Planets around Ultracool Dwarfs\nDr. Eduardo
  Martin Guerrero\n\n \nUltracool dwarfs represent the low-mass tail o
 f the distribution of primary masses for which planets can be found w
 ith the Kepler satellite. Our team has identified 42 new ultracool dw
 arfs in the Kepler field of view that have started to be observed wit
 h this space telescope via its General Observer and Director Discreti
 onary Time programs. First results of a study of Kepler light curves 
 of 18 very low-mass dwarfs will be presented at this talk. It is demostrat
 ed that Kepler is sensitive to moon sized companions of ultracool dwarfs a
 t short orbital periods (few days), and an intriguing candidate will 
 be shown. Results from a ground-based infrared transit survey will al
 so be presented which confirm the lack of Hot Jupiters around very low-mas
 s primaries. Last but not least, a concept for a sustainable hybrid H
 ypertelescope that would be crucial to follow-up rocky planets will a
 lso be introduced.
