Cool versus Ultracool White Dwarfs
A preliminary BV RIJHK analysis of the white dwarfs SSSPM J2231−7514 and SSSPM J2231−7515 is presented. Although both stars were reported to have Teff < 4000 K, the analysis here indicates Teff ≈ 4250 K for both SSSPM J2231−7514 and SSSPM J2231−7515. Given substantial scientific interest in the coolest extant degenerate stars, it is necessary to distinguish sub 4000 K objects from the bulk of c...
متن کاملBrown Dwarfs and Cool Stars
We review the current picture of disks around cool stars and brown dwarfs, including disk fractions, mass estimates, disk structure and dispersal, accretion, dust composition, the debris disk phase. We discuss these in the framework of recent planet formation models. The study of disks around brown dwarfs and cool stars allows testing disk physics and planet formation processes in a parameter r...
متن کاملVariability in ultra cool dwarfs: Evidence for the evolution of surface features
We present photometric light curves for a sample of 21 ultra cool M and L dwarfs in the field and in the young open clusters σ Orionis and the Pleiades. The list of targets includes both low mass hydrogen burning stars and brown dwarfs. Evidence for variability with rms amplitudes (in the I band) of 0.01 to 0.055 magnitudes on timescales of 0.4 to 100 hours is discovered in half of these object...
متن کاملUltra-Cool and Extra-Vigorous: Rotation and Activity in M and L dwarfs
The study of rotation and activity in low-mass stars or brown dwarfs of spectral classes M and L has seen enormous progress during the last years. I summarize the results from different works that measured activity, rotation, and sometimes magnetic fields. The generation of magnetic activity seems to be unchanged at the threshold to completely convective stars, i.e. no change in the efficiency ...
متن کاملCool Companions to Hot White Dwarfs
Low-mass companions to high-mass stars are difficult to detect, which is partly why the binary fraction for high-mass stars is still poorly constrained. Low-mass companions can be detected more easily however, once high-mass stars turn into white dwarfs. These systems are also interesting as the progenitors of a variety of intensely studied interacting binary systems, like novae, CVs, symbiotic...
