We report the discovery of the first young brown dwarf in the Serpens cloud (BD-Ser 1). It is obscured by more than ten magnitudes of visual absorption as indicated by near infrared (NIR) photometric survey at the NTT and confirmed by NIR spectroscopy at the VLT. We estimate the mass of this brown dwarf to be M ~ 0.05 M⊙ and its age to be ~ 3.5 Myr. Available NIR indices in the literature (designed for field brown dwarfs) fail to provide its current spectral type but using a model they correctly determine its future spectral type to be T. This is the first young brown dwarf ever found deeply embedded in the Serpens star formation region

Infrared images of the BN-KL region in Orion obtained with the Univ. of Rochester IR Array Camera on the Mees 0.6-m (2.5“/pixel) and the Kitt Peak 1.3-m telescopes (1”/pixel) are presented. These images demonstrate the utility of small telescopes for infrared studies of star formation regions.
