Volume-limited radio survey of ultracool dwarfs
Aims. We aim to increase the sample of ultracool dwarfs studied in the radio domain to allow a more statistically significant understanding of the physical conditions associated with these magnetically active objects. Methods. We conducted a volume-limited survey at 4.9 GHz of 32 nearby ultracool dwarfs with spectral types covering the range M7 – T8. A statistical analysis was performed on the ...
متن کاملThe Masses of Population Ii White Dwarfs
Globular star clusters are among the first stellar populations to have formed in the Milky Way, and thus only a small sliver of their initial spectrum of stellar types are still burning hydrogen on the main-sequence today. Almost all of the stars born with more mass than 0.8 M⊙ have evolved to form the white dwarf cooling sequence of these systems, and the distribution and properties of these r...
متن کاملA Volume-limited Sample of 63 M7–m9.5 Dwarfs I. Space Motion, Kinematic Age, and Lithium
In a volume-limited sample of 63 ultracool dwarfs of spectral type M7–M9.5, we have obtained highresolution spectroscopy with UVES at the Very Large Telescope and HIRES at Keck Observatory. In this first paper we introduce our volume-complete sample from DENIS and 2MASS targets, and we derive radial velocities and space motion. Kinematics of our sample are consistent with the stars being predom...
متن کاملThe DODO Survey II: A Gemini Direct Imaging Search for Substellar and Planetary Mass Companions around Nearby Equatorial and Northern Hemisphere White Dwarfs
The aim of the Degenerate Objects around Degenerate Objects (DODO) survey is to search for very low mass brown dwarfs and extrasolar planets in wide orbits around white dwarfs via direct imaging. The direct detection of such companions would allow the spectroscopic investigation of objects with temperatures much lower (< 500 K) than the coolest brown dwarfs currently observed. These ultra–low m...
متن کاملThe evolution of helium white dwarfs II. Thermal instabilities
We calculated a grid of evolutionary models for white dwarfs with helium cores (He-WDs) and investigated the occurrence of hydrogen-shell flashes due to unstable hydrogen burning via CNO cycling. Our calculations show that such thermal instabilities are restricted to a certain mass range (M ≈ 0.21 . . . 0.30M ), consistent with earlier studies. Models within this mass range undergo the more hyd...
