  Due to magnitude limits, the Gaia survey will not delve as deeply into the
local population of brown dwarfs as it will other stellar populations. While
hundreds or thousands of brown dwarfs will be measured by Gaia, we propose a
different, indirect method wherein studies using Gaia data will help teach us
about brown dwarfs: Identifying moving groups that contain brown dwarfs. This
use of Gaia data will directly help attempts to disentangle the effects of age
and mass on brown dwarf spectra, which opens the possibilities for determining
empirical constraints on brown dwarf evolution.
