Mass-luminosity relation of low mass stars
The data on dynamic masses and multicolor photometry of 56 M-type components of binary/multiple systems was collected. Critical evaluation of late type stars bolometric correction scales have been performed. Our refined and reduced data is comparedwith published empirical and theoreticalmassluminosity relations. Our data does not exclude the existence of a step-like feature at MV = 12m. The bes...
متن کاملRotation periods for very low mass stars in the Pleiades
We present the results of a photometric monitoring campaign for very low mass (VLM) members of the Pleiades. Periodic photometric variability was detected for nine VLM stars with masses between 0.08 and 0.25 M⊙. These variations are most likely caused by co-rotating, magnetically induced spots. In comparison with solar-mass stars, the photometric amplitudes are very low (< 0.04mag), implying th...
متن کاملRotation periods for very low mass stars in Praesepe
We investigate the rotation periods of fully convective very low mass stars (VLM, M < 0.3M⊙), with the aim to derive empirical constraints for the spindown due to magnetically driven stellar winds. Our analysis is based on a new sample of rotation periods in the main-sequence cluster Praesepe (age 600Myr). From photometric lightcurves obtained with the Isaac Newton Telescope, we measure rotatio...
متن کاملThe Structural Effects of Rotation in Low Mass Stars
We present theoretical models of rotating low mass stars (0.1 1.0 M⊙ ) to demonstrate the effect of rotation on the effective temperature and luminosity of stars. The range of rotation rates in our models corresponds to the observed rotation rates in young low mass stars. Rotation lowers the effective temperature and luminosity of the models relative to standard models of the same mass and comp...
متن کاملThe Rotation of Young Low-Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs
We review the current state of our knowledge concerning the rotation and angular momentum evolution of young stellar objects and brown dwarfs from a primarily observational view point. There has been a tremendous growth in the number of young, low-mass objects with measured rotation periods over the last five years, due to the application of wide field imagers on 1-2 m class telescopes. Periods...
