PPV Chapter - The Formation of Brown Dwarfs [PDF]
We review five mechanisms for forming brown dwarfs: (i) turbulent fragmentation of molecular clouds, producing very low-mass prestellar cores by shock compression; (ii) collapse and fragmentation of more massive prestellar cores; (iii) disc fragmentation; (iv) premature ejection of protostellar embryos from their natal cores; and (v) photo-erosion of ...

Children, Families and Social Security: Eleanor Rathbone's Welfare Legacy
In The Disinherited Family, published in 1924, Eleanor Rathbone argued powerfully for ‘family endowment’, involving the direction of collective resources towards family support via state‐provided family allowances.

Fijiviral P9‐2 protein but not RNA was shown to induce cell death by targeting the plasma membrane in plant cells, suggesting that this protein could be responsible for a programmed cell death‐like process in infected tissues with hyperplasia. Abstract Southern rice black‐streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV; Fijivirus, Reoviridae) has become a threat to ...

Fecundity, Fertility and The Formation of Human Capital
Exploiting a genealogy of English individuals living in the 16th to the 19th centuries, this study shows that lower parental reproductive capacity positively affected the socio‐economic achievements of offspring. Using the time interval between the date of marriage and the first birth as a measure of reproductive capacity, we find that parental ...

Three Brown Dwarfs Masquerading as High-redshift Galaxies in JWST Observations
We report the spectroscopic identification of three brown dwarf candidates—o005_s41280, o006_s00089, and o006_s35616—discovered in RUBIES using James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Near-Infrared Spectrograph PRISM/CLEAR spectroscopy.
