Abstract:
    We have identified a large sample of probable low-mass members of the
    young open cluster IC 2391 based on optical (VRIZ) and infrared (JHKs)
    photometry. Our sample includes 50 probable members and 82 possible
    members, both very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs. We also provide
    accurate positions for these stars and brown dwarf candidates derived
    from red UK Schmidt plates measured using the microdensitometer
    SuperCOSMOS. Assuming an age of 53Myr, we estimate that we have
    reached a mass of 0.025M_{sun}_, if the identified objects are indeed
    members of IC 2391.
