摘要：

The infrared search for substellar companions to nearby white dwarfs has been going on for a little more than a decade. The most recent phase has been a wide field pro per motion search carried out primarily at Steward Observatory, where we are complete down to J = 18. Earlier phases included near field searches at the IRTF and Keck Observatory. In the last year we have discovered ten previously unrecognized faint proper motion companions. Of the recent discoveries, most are white dwarfs and a few M dwarfs. GD165B, discovered in 1988 as part of out program, is still the only known companion to a white dwarf with spectral type later than M.
