Brown Dwarf Database

For a summer research project, I compiled a database of brown dwarfs likely to observe polarization. I researched characteristics that would allow for high quantities of polarization. Some variables I looked for were high rotational velocity, low surface gravity, and young age. I looked through past research findings for brown dwarf polarization candidates. I also wrote functions to query large astronomy databases such as Simbad to fill in missing characteristics and filter for more candidates.
