Accretion in ρ Ophiuchi brown dwarfs : infrared hydrogen line ratios ⋆
Context. Mass accretion rate determinations are fundamental for an understanding of the evolution of pre-main sequence star circumstellar disks. Aims. Magnetospheric accretion models are used to derive values of the mass accretion rates in objects of very different properties, from brown dwarfs to intermediate-mass stars; we test the validity of these models in the brown dwarf regime, where the...
متن کاملProbing Disk Accretion in Young Brown Dwarfs
We present high-resolution optical spectra of 15 objects near or below the sub-stellar limit in the Upper Scorpius and ρ Ophiuchus star-forming regions. These spectra, obtained with the HIRES instrument on the Keck I telescope, are used to investigate disk accretion, rotation and activity in young very low mass objects. We report the detection of a broad, asymmetric Hα emission line in the ρ Op...
متن کاملEmission line diagnostics for accretion and outflows in young very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs
We discuss accretion and outflow properties of three very low-mass young stellar objects based on broad-band mid-resolution X-Shooter/VLT spectra. Our targets (FUTauA, 2M1207-39, and Par-Lup3-4) have spectral types between M5 and M8, ages between 1Myr and ∼ 10Myr, and are known to be accreting from previous studies. The final objective of our project is the determination of mass outflow to accr...
متن کاملVariable accretion and outflow in young brown dwarfs
We report on the first dedicated monitoring campaign of spectroscopic variability in young brown dwarfs. High-resolution optical spectra of six targets in nearby star-forming regions were obtained over 11 nights between 2005 JanuaryMarch on the Magellan 6.5m telescope. We find significant variability in Hα and a number of other emission lines related to accretion and outflow processes on a vari...
متن کاملMeasuring tiny mass accretion rates onto young brown dwarfs
We present low-resolution Keck I/LRIS spectra spanning from 3200–9000 Å of nine young brown dwarfs and three low-mass stars in the TW Hya Association and in Upper Sco. The optical spectral types of the brown dwarfs range from M5.5-M8.75, though two have near-IR spectral types of early L-dwarfs. We report new accretion rates derived from excess Balmer continuum emission for the low-mass stars TW...
