Ultracool dwarfs - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


The Brown Dwarf Kinematics Project: Learning from Ultracool Dwarfs

The Brown Dwarf Kinematics Project (BDKP) aims to study the motions of ultracool dwarfs, measure their proper motions, parallaxes, and radial velocities, and use them to calibrate the ages of main sequence stars. The project has published proper motions for over 400 L and T dwarfs, forming a compreh

Characterizing the Atmospheres of Low Surface Gravity M-dwarfs

This study focuses on characterizing the atmospheres of low surface gravity M-dwarfs, which are promising hosts for exoplanets. The research delves into why low gravity M-dwarfs appear brighter in the infrared than typical M-dwarfs, presenting an improved base model with added opacities. The finding
