The Magnetosphere of the Ultracool Dwarf
Ultracool dwarfs, the least-massive contributors to the stellar mass function, exhibit striking magnetic properties that are inconsistent with trends for more massive stars. Here, we present the widestband radio observations to date of an ultracool dwarf, DENIS-P J104814.9−395604, in four 2GHz bandwidths between wavelengths of 1 cm and 10 cm. These data were obtained with the Australia Telescop...
متن کاملDiscovery of an Ultracool White Dwarf Companion
The discovery of a low luminosity common proper motion companion to the white dwarf GD392 at a wide separation of 46 is reported. BV RIJHK photometry strongly indicates suppressed flux at all near infrared wavelengths. Thus, GD392B is one of the few white dwarfs to show collision-induced absorption due to the presence of photospheric H2 and the first ultracool white dwarf detected as a companio...
متن کاملObservations of Ultracool White Dwarfs
We present new spectroscopic and photometric measurements of the white dwarfs LHS 3250 and WD 0346]246. Along with F351[50, these white dwarfs are the coolest ones known, all with e†ective temperatures below 4000 K. Their membership in the Galactic halo population is discussed, and detailed comparisons of all three objects with new atmosphere models are presented. The new models consider the e†...
متن کاملAdaptive optics observations of asteroid (216) Kleopatra
The large main-belt asteroid (216) Kleopatra has been for long suspected to be a binary object, mainly due to its large lightcurve amplitude. However, recent observations suggest that it is a single “bone-shaped” or bi-lobated body (Ostro et al. 2000; Tanga et al. 2001). We present results obtained from ground-based adaptive optics observations, and in agreement with the radar raw-observations,...
متن کاملThe Future of Ultracool Dwarf Science with JWST
Ultracool dwarfs exhibit a remarkably varied set of characteristics which hint at the complex physical processes acting in their atmospheres and interiors. Spectra of these objects not only depend upon their mass and effective temperature, but also their atmospheric chemistry, weather, and dynamics. As a consequence divining their mass, metallicity and age solely from their spectra has been a c...
