Description: Orbits of some brown dwarf binaries: Luhman 16, SDSS-J205235.31-160929.8, DENIS J0205.4-1159, DENIS J122815.2-154733, 2MASSW J1728114+394859. Images were taken with the Hubble Space Telescope to determine the dynamical mass. Luhman 16 A+B are separated by 3.5 astronomical units. SDSS J2052-1609 AB are separated by about 3.2 au. https://arxiv.org/abs/1009.5672 DENIS J0205.4-1159 A+B are separed by 9.2 au. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1086/312367 2MASSW J1728114+394859 are separated by 3.7 au. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1086/368177 This work makes use of MAST, using data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, using data from WFC3 and WFPC2. Filters/IDs first epoch according to the list above: Filters: F606W, F850LP, F814W, F814W, F850LP Proposal IDs: 13748, 14220, 8720, 9157, 14220
