Phase-resolved Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 Spectroscopy of the Weakly Irradiated Brown Dwarf GD 1400 and Energy Redistribution–Irradiation Trends in Six White Dwarf–Brown Dwarf Binaries

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
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 ...

BROWN DWARFS: MYSTERY AND SHOW

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
Results of the numerical simulation of the spectrum of the brown dwarf candidate Teide 1 discovered by Rebolo et al. (1995) are discussed.

JWST/NIRCam Discovery of the First Y+Y Brown Dwarf Binary: WISE J033605.05–014350.4

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We report the discovery of the first brown dwarf binary system with a Y dwarf primary, WISE J033605.05−014350.4, observed with NIRCam on JWST with the F150W and F480M filters.

Environmental and local habitat variables as predictors of trophic interactions in subtidal rocky reefs along the SE Pacific coast

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Temperature generally drives latitudinal patterns in the strength of trophic interactions, including consumption rates. However, local community and other environmental conditions might also affect consumption, disrupting latitudinal gradients, which results in complex large‐scale patterns.

A Possible Correlation between Metallicity and Near-IR Color for Late-M and L Dwarfs

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We examine the relationship between metallicity and J − K color for 64 benchmark late-M and L dwarfs, all of which are wide companions to higher-mass stars, and six of which are new discoveries.

Self-consistent Models of Y Dwarf Atmospheres with Water Clouds and Disequilibrium Chemistry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Y dwarfs are the coolest spectral class of brown dwarf. They have effective temperatures less than 500 K, with the coolest detection as low as ∼250 K.

Origins of Brown Dwarfs

open access: yesarXiv: Astrophysics, 2005
The formation of objects below or close to the hydrogen burning limit is currently vividly discussed and is one of the main open issues in the field of the origins of stars and planets. Applying various observational techniques, we explored a sample of brown dwarfs and very low-mass stars in the ChaI star forming cloud at an age of only a few million ...

Brown Dwarf Formation: Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We rehearse the physical and theoretical considerations that define the nature of Brown Dwarfs, in particular the maximum mass for a Brown Dwarf (set by the Hydrogen-Burning Limit) and the minimum mass for a Brown Dwarf (set by the Opacity Limit). We then review the range of mechanisms that have been invoked to explain the formation of Brown Dwarfs and

Rethinking Knowledge Cumulation: Foregrounding Epistemic Justice in Environmental Governance Research

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social science inquiry into environmental governance is theoretically and methodologically diverse, resulting in a large array of isolated pieces of knowledge. Scholars' reflections around knowledge cumulation focus on how separate bits of knowledge can feasibly be integrated to build a broader, consensual state of knowledge.

Detection of lithium in nearby young late-M dwarfs

open access: yes, 2016
Late M-type dwarfs in the solar neighborhood include a mixture of very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs which is difficult to disentangle due to the lack of constraints on their age such as trigonometric parallax, lithium detection and space velocity ...
