Constraints on Planet Occurrence Around Nearby Mid-to-Late M Dwarfs From the Mearth Project
The MEarth Project is a ground-based photometric survey intended to find planets transiting the closest and smallest main-sequence stars. In its first four years, MEarth discovered one transiting exoplanet, the 2.7R⊕ planet GJ1214b. Here, we answer an outstanding question: in light of the bounty of small planets transiting small stars uncovered by the Kepler mission, should MEarth have found mo...
متن کاملCool 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 کاملObservations of Ultracool White Dwarfs
We present new spectroscopic and photometric measurements of the white dwarfs LHS 3250 and WD 0346]246. Along with F351[50, these white dwarfs are the coolest ones known, all with e†ective temperatures below 4000 K. Their membership in the Galactic halo population is discussed, and detailed comparisons of all three objects with new atmosphere models are presented. The new models consider the e†...
متن کاملThe potential for Earth-mass planet formation around brown dwarfs
Recent observations point to the presence of structured dust grains in the discs surrounding young brown dwarfs, thus implying that the first stages of planet formation take place also in the sub-stellar regime. Here, we investigate the potential for planet formation around brown dwarfs and very low mass stars according to the sequential core accretion model of planet formation. We find that, f...
متن کاملSpectroscopic distances of nearby ultracool dwarfs
We present updated results of spectroscopic follow-up observations of a sample of 45 M dwarf candidates identified by Phan-Bao et al. (2003) based on the DENIS photometry and proper motion measurements. Forty one of these are nearby late-M dwarfs (d<30 pc) with spectral types ranging from M5.0 to M8.5 computed from the spectral indices. One contaminant is probably an F-G main sequence star redd...
