Intercomparison of Brown Dwarf Model Grids and Atmospheric Retrieval Using Machine Learning

open access: yesThe 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.

HST Spectral Mapping of L/T Transition Brown Dwarfs Reveals Cloud Thickness Variations

open access: yes, 2013
Most directly imaged giant exoplanets are fainter than brown dwarfs with similar spectra. To explain their relative underluminosity unusually cloudy atmospheres have been proposed.

The Galactic disk mass function: reconciliation of the HST and nearby determinations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We derive and parametrize the Galactic mass function (MF) below 1 $\msol$ characteristic of both single objects and binary systems. We resolve the long standing discrepancy between the MFs derived from the HST and from the nearby luminosity functions ...

Functionalizing Conductive Diamond: Recent Advance in Fabrication, Modifications, and Applications

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advancements in the synthesis, modification, and electrochemical applications of conductive diamond, particularly boron‐doped diamond (BDD). It emphasizes progress in fabrication methods, including CVD and HPHT, and explores modifications such as doping, surface terminations, and composite design, enabling significant ...

DEPLETION OF TiO AND SPECTRA OF THE COOLEST BROWN DWARFS

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
This study was performed in the context of the ”lithium test” for brown dwarfs proposed by Rebolo et al. (1992). We consider the formation of lithium dust species in atmospheres of the coolest stars and substellar objects.

Dust in brown dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2003
In this paper, we quantify and discuss the physical and surface chemical processes leading to the formation, temporal evolution and sedimentation of dust grains in brown dwarf and giant gas planet atmospheres: nucleation, growth, evaporation and gravitational settling.

“Train and Hope”: The Role of Restorative Justice Coordinators in Sustaining a Culture of Care in Schools

open access: yesConflict Resolution Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the role of restorative justice coordinators in supporting teachers and schools in adopting a whole‐school approach to restorative justice in education. Coordinators are often tasked with implementing a train‐and‐hope model, in which they receive initial training in restorative justice but are largely left unsupported ...

Mid-infrared followup of cold brown dwarfs: Diversity in age, mass and metallicity

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2011
We use Spitzer IRAC 3.6–8.0 μm photometry of late-type T dwarfs to investigate various trends which can aid the planning and interpretation of infrared (IR) surveys for the coldest T or Y dwarfs. Brown dwarfs with effective temperature (Teff)50% of their

Modeling Brown Dwarfs, L Dwarfs, and T Dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 2003
In this contribution, I review a subset of our recent efforts in spectral and opacity modeling aimed at guiding the study of brown dwarfs, L dwarfs, and T dwarfs. I discuss theoretical calculations of the alkali line profiles, newly generated CrH opacities, new evidence for refractory rainout in T dwarfs from optical spectral measurements, and the ...
