The brown dwarf desert as a consequence of orbital migration [PDF]
We show that the dearth of brown dwarfs in short-period orbits around Solar-mass stars - the brown dwarf desert - can be understood as a consequence of inward migration within an evolving protoplanetary disc. Brown dwarf secondaries forming at the same time as the primary star have masses which are comparable to the initial mass of the protoplanetary ...

An Early Pleistocene interglacial deposit at Pingorsuit, North‐West Greenland
At the Pingorsuit Glacier in North‐West Greenland, an organic‐rich deposit that had recently emerged from the retreating ice cap was discovered at an elevation of 480 m above sea level. This paper reports on macrofossil analyses of a coarse detritus gyttja and peaty soil, which occurred beneath a thin cover of till and glacifluvial deposits.

HCN and C2H2 in the Atmosphere of a T8.5+T9 Brown Dwarf Binary
T-type brown dwarfs present an opportunity to explore atmospheres teeming with molecules such as H _2 O, CH _4 , and NH _3 , which exhibit a wealth of absorption features in the mid-infrared.

The Formation Mechanism of Brown Dwarfs [PDF]
We present results from the first hydrodynamical star formation calculation to demonstrate that brown dwarfs are a natural and frequent product of the collapse and fragmentation of a turbulent molecular cloud. The brown dwarfs form via the fragmentation of dense molecular gas in unstable multiple systems and are ejected from the dense gas before they ...

The prospects for finding brown dwarfs in eclipsing binary systems and measuring brown dwarf properties [PDF]
We present the results of a simulation to investigate the prospects of measuring mass, age, radius, metallicity and luminosity data for brown dwarfs in fully eclipsing binary systems around late K and early M dwarfs identified by ultra-wide-field transit surveys. These surveys will monitor approximately a million K and M dwarfs at a level sufficient to

The Structure of Brown Dwarf Circumstellar Disks [PDF]
We present synthetic spectra for circumstellar disks that are heated by radiation from a central brown dwarf. Under the assumption of vertical hydrostatic equilibrium, our models yield scaleheights for brown dwarf disks in excess of three times those derived for classical T Tauri (CTTS) disks.

ABSTRACT This study investigates the workplace experiences of 51 ethnic minority professionals who self‐identify as neurodivergent, focusing specifically on the impact of intersectional stereotyping within organizations in the United Kingdom and United States.

Geo‐scripts and refugee resettlement in Canada: Designations and destinations
Key Messages Geo‐scripts are the locational instructions embedded in one's category of refugee resettlement; they shape the places newcomers land, just as these communities influence their lives and livelihoods. Former refugees' decisions to stay put or move elsewhere once in Canada are related to services, affordable housing, education, and job ...
