The First L-Type Brown Dwarf in the Pleiades
We have obtained low-resolution optical spectra of three faint brown dwarf candidates in the Pleiades open cluster. The objects observed are Roque 12 (I_C=18.5), Roque 5 (I_C=19.7), and Roque 25 (I_C=21.2). The spectrum of Roque 25 does not show the strong TiO band heads that characterize the optical spectra of M-type stars, but molecular bands of
