The Brown Dwarf - Exoplanet Connection
Brown dwarfs are commonly regarded as easily-observed templates for exoplanet studies, with comparable masses, physical sizes and atmospheric properties. There is indeed considerable overlap in the photospheric temperatures of the coldest brown dwarfs (spectral classes L and T) and the hottest exoplanets. However, the properties and processes associated with brown dwarf and exoplanet atmosphere...
متن کاملThe distribution of exoplanet masses
An abstract should be given he present study derives the distribution of secondary massesM2 for the 67 exoplanets and very low-mass brown dwarfs companions of solar-type stars, known as of April 4, 2001. This distribution is related to the distribution of M2 sin i through an integral equation of Abel’s type. Although a formal solution exists for this equation, it is known to be ill-behaved, and...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of surface convection in a late M-dwarf
Based on detailed 2D and 3D numerical radiation-hydrodynamics (RHD) simulations of time-dependent compressible convection, we have studied the dynamics and thermal structure of the convective surface layers of a prototypical late-type M-dwarf (Teff ≈ 2800K, log g = 5.0, solar chemical composition). The RHD models predict stellar granulation qualitatively similar to the familiar solar pattern. Q...
متن کاملHot Methane Line Lists for Exoplanet and Brown Dwarf Atmospheres
We present comprehensive experimental line lists of methane (CH4) at high temperatures obtained by recording Fourier transform infrared emission spectra. Calibrated line lists are presented for the temperatures 300–1400◦C at twelve 100◦C intervals spanning the 960–5000 cm−1 (2.0–10.4μm) region of the infrared. This range encompasses the dyad, pentad, and octad regions, i.e., all fundamental vib...
متن کاملFollow-up Observations of SPY White Dwarf + M-Dwarf Binaries
We present the results of follow-up observations of white-dwarf + M-dwarf binaries identified using spectra obtained as part of the SPY survey. Spectra of the Hα region were obtained with the SPIRAL spectrograph on the AAT telescope. Of the eleven stars observed, seven are binaries with periods in the range 2.8 hours to 7.7 days. We also show that one of our targets, WD 0137−349, has a brown dw...
