Surprisingly Weak Magnetism on Young Accreting Brown Dwarfs
We have measured the surface magnetic flux on four accreting young brown dwarfs and one non-accreting young very low-mass star utilizing high resolution spectra of absorption lines of the FeH molecule. A magnetic field of 1-2 kG had been proposed for one of the brown dwarfs, 2MASS J1207334−393254, because of its similarities to higher mass T Tauri stars as manifested in accretion and the presen...
متن کاملPulsating young brown dwarfs
We present the results of a nonadiabatic, linear stability analysis of models of very low-mass stars (VLMSs) and brown dwarfs (BDs) during the deuterium burning phase in the center. We find unstable fundamental modes with periods varying between ∼5 hr for a 0.1 M⊙ star and ∼1 hr for a 0.02 M⊙ BD. The growth time of the instability decreases with decreasing mass and remains well below the deuter...
متن کاملDisks around Young Brown Dwarfs
We present some results from a systematic survey for disks around spectroscopically identified young brown dwarfs and very low mass stars. We find that ≈75% of our sample show intrinsic IR excesses, indicative of circum(sub)stellar disks. The observed excesses are well-correlated with Hα emission, consistent with a common disk accretion origin. Because the excesses are modest, conventional anal...
متن کاملISO observations of candidate young brown dwarfs
ISOCAM measurements or upper limits for low mass members of the ρ Ophiuchi embedded cluster extend the sampling of the spectral energy distributions already obtained from the ground towards longer wavelengths, where emission by circumstellar material is significant. Good fits to the combined (ground-based + ISOCAM) photometry are obtained with theoretical models of pre-main sequence evolution, ...
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...
