We have used infrared images obtained with the Wide Field Camera 3 on board the <i>Hubble Space Telescope</i> to search for planetary-mass brown dwarfs in the star-forming cluster IC 348. In those images, we have identified 12 objects that have colors indicative of spectral types later than M8, corresponding to masses of ≲ 30 <i>M</i> <sub>Jup</sub> at the age of IC 348. The four brightest candidates have been observed with spectroscopy, all of which are confirmed to have late types. Two of thos ...[more]
