Abstract
We propose to obtain near-IR imaging (relative photometry) using Gemini/NIRI of ultracool brown dwarfs selected from the Pan-STARRS-1 (PS1) all-sky survey. J-band photometry will allow us to filter truly interesting brown dwarfs from
astrophysical false positives. This represents a very efficient use of Band-3 time.
