Stellar and brown dwarf properties from numerical simulations
, 2010 We review the statistical properties of stars and brown dwarfs obtained from the first hydrodynamical simulation of star cluster formation to produce more than a thousand stars and brown dwarfs while simultaneously resolving the lowest mass brown dwarfs (

Searches for brown dwarfs [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1994 AbstractThis review attempts a brief summary of the numerous and diverse searches for the so-called brown dwarfs, substellar objects having masses between giant planets and the lowest mass M dwarf stars.

The Astrophysical JournalBrown dwarfs form the key, yet poorly understood, link between stellar and planetary astrophysics. These objects offer unique tests of Galactic structure, but observational limitations have inhibited their large-scale analysis to date. Major upcoming sky

Brown dwarfs forming in discs: Where to look for them?
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 A large fraction of the observed brown dwarfs may form by gravitational fragmentation of unstable discs. This model reproduces the brown dwarf desert, and provides an explanation for the existence of planetary-mass objects and for the binary properties ...

Newly discovered brown dwarfs not seen in microlensing time scale frequency distribution? [PDF]
, 1999 The 2-Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) (Skrutskie et al. 1997) and the DEep Near Infrared Survey of the southern sky (DENIS) (Epchtein et al. 1997) have revealed a heretofore unknown population of free brown dwarfs that has extended the local mass function ...

A New Spectral Class of Brown Dwarfs at the Bottom of the IMF in IC 348
The Astrophysical Journal LettersIn a previous study, we used James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to identify three new brown dwarfs in the center of a nearby star-forming cluster, IC 348.

Intercomparison of Brown Dwarf Model Grids and Atmospheric Retrieval Using Machine Learning
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Understanding differences between substellar spectral data and models has proven to be a major challenge, especially for self-consistent model grids that are necessary for a thorough investigation of brown dwarf atmospheres.

, 1998 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 ...

The brown dwarf population in the Chamaeleon I cloud [PDF]
, 2003 We present the results of a multiband survey for brown dwarfs in the Chamaeleon I dark cloud with the Wide Field Imager (WFI) camera at the ESO/MPG 2.2-m telescope on La Silla (Chile).

The Astrophysical JournalWe present a near-complete spectral energy distribution (SED) for an extrasolar world: the T8 brown dwarf 2MASS J04151954−0935066. Spanning from optical to mid-infrared (0.7–20.4 μ m) wavelengths, the SED for this substellar atmosphere is constructed ...
