The formation mechanism of brown dwarfs [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002 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 ...

On the Formation of Brown Dwarfs [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2004 AbstractThe observational properties of brown dwarfs pose challenges to the theory of star formation. Because their masses are much smaller than the typical Jeans mass of interstellar clouds, brown dwarfs are most likely formed through secondary fragmentation processes, rather than through the direct collapse of a molecular cloud core.

Brown dwarf accretion: Nonconventional star formation over very long timescales [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2005 We investigate the process of accretion of interstellar gas by the Galactic population of brown dwarfs over very long timescales typical for physical eschatology.

Disks around Young Planetary-mass Objects: Ultradeep Spitzer Imaging of NGC 1333
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We report on a sensitive infrared search for disks around isolated young planetary-mass objects (PMOs) in the NGC 1333 cluster, by stacking 70 Spitzer/IRAC frames at 3.6 and 4.5 μ m.

Redder than Red: Discovery of an Exceptionally Red L/T Transition Dwarf
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We present the discovery of CWISE J050626.96+073842.4 (CWISE J0506+0738), an L/T transition dwarf with extremely red near-infrared colors discovered through the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project. Photometry from UKIRT and CatWISE give a (

An Eccentric Brown Dwarf Eclipsing an M dwarf
The Astronomical Journal, 2022 Abstract We report the discovery of an M = 67 ± 2M J brown dwarf transiting the early M dwarf TOI-2119 on an eccentric orbit (e = 0.3362 ± 0.0005) at an orbital period of 7.200861 ± 0.000005 days. We confirm the brown dwarf nature of the transiting companion using a combination of ground-based and space-based photometry

Outflows and disks of brown dwarfs with SMA, CARMA and ALMA
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 Brown dwarfs are on the dividing line between planets and stars. Up to date, about 1,000 brown dwarfs, including the coolest known brown dwarfs with temperatures of ∼300 K as cool as the human body, have been discovered.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is now observing Y dwarfs, the coldest known brown dwarfs, with effective temperatures T _eff ≲ 475 K. The first published observations provide important information: not only is the atmospheric chemistry out of ...
