Abstract:
We present the results of a six-square-degree Pleiades survey in I and
Z, which is photometrically complete to approximately I_KP_=19.2
(I_Cou_=19.6 in the Pleiades). We remove non-cluster contamination on
the basis of proper motions and infrared photometry, and present 339
candidate cluster members, 30 of which are fainter than I_KP_=17.5,
and are thus strong brown-dwarf candidates.

Note (1): This column shows to what extent, if any, a candidate has been
spectroscopically studied by other authors.
The following spectroscopic features are considered; spectral type,
radial velocity, surface gravity indicators and lithium absorption.
Candidates are flagged with s, v, g and l respectively, if these
features have been found to be consistent with cluster membership.
It is noted that none of the candidates have been spectroscopically
eliminated as cluster candidate members. The superscripted numbers
after these spectroscopic flags indicate which source the information
comes from, as follows;
2 = Rebolo et al. (1996ApJ...469L..53R),
3 = Martin et al. (1996ApJ...469..706M),
4 = Zapatero Osorio et al.
(1997ApJ...491L..81Z and 1997A&A...317..164Z),
5 = Martin et al. (1998ApJ...499L..61M),
6 = Stauffer et al. (1998ApJ...499L.199S),
7 = Martin et al. (1998ApJ...507L..41M).
