We use recent microlensing observations toward the central bulge of the Galaxy to probe the overall stellar plus brown dwarf initial mass function (IMF) in these regions well within the brown dwarf domain. We find that the IMF is consistent with the same

Interactions between brown-dwarf binaries and Sun-like stars
Several mechanisms have been proposed for the formation of brown dwarfs, but there is as yet no consensus as to which -- if any -- are operative in nature. Any theory of brown dwarf formation must explain the observed statistics of brown dwarfs.

A Panchromatic View of Brown Dwarf Aurorae [PDF]
Stellar coronal activity has been shown to persist into the low-mass star regime, down to late M-dwarf spectral types. However, there is now an accumulation of evidence suggesting that at the end of the main sequence, there is a transition in the nature ...

Recent observations of microlensing events in the Large Magellanic Cloud suggest that a sizable fraction of the galactic halo is in the form of Massive Astrophysical Compact Halo Objects (MACHOs). Although the average MACHO mass is presently poorly known, the value $\sim 0.1 M_{\odot}$ looks as a realistic estimate, thereby implying that brown dwarfs ...

A Small Brown Dwarf in an Aligned Orbit Around a Young, Fully Convective M Star
A star's spin–orbit angle can give us insight into a system's formation and dynamical history. In this paper, we use MAROON-X observations of the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect to measure the projected obliquity of the LP 261-75 (also known as TOI-1779 ...

POPULATION PROPERTIES OF BROWN DWARF ANALOGS TO EXOPLANETS [PDF]
We present a kinematic analysis of 152 low surface gravity M7-L8 dwarfs by adding 18 new parallaxes (including 10 for comparative field objects), 38 new radial velocities, and 19 new proper motions.

This study elucidates a novel SlJAZ8‐SlWRKY57‐SlAVT6A/SlAVT6B module that effectively channels metabolic flux from primary to secondary metabolism, impacting plant growth, development, and resistance. Two novel vacuolar amino acid exporters, SlAVT6A and SlAVT6B, fine‐tunes trichomes, terpenes, and gibberellins, bolstering spider mite resistance.

Irradiated brown dwarfs offer a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between stellar and planetary atmospheres. We present high-quality Hubble Space Telescope/Wide Field Camera 3/G141 phase-resolved spectra of the white dwarf–brown dwarf binary GD 1400 ...

Mass Production of 2021 KMTNet Microlensing Planets. III. Analysis of Three Giant Planets
We present the analysis of three more planets from the KMTNet 2021 microlensing season. KMT-2021-BLG-0119Lb is a ∼6 M _Jup planet orbiting an early M dwarf or a K dwarf, KMT-2021-BLG-0192Lb is a ∼2 M _Nep planet orbiting an M dwarf, and KMT-2021-BLG ...
