A Monitoring Campaign for Luhman 16ab. I. Detection of Resolved Near-infrared Spectroscopic Variability
We report resolved near-infrared spectroscopic monitoring of the nearby L dwarf/T dwarf binary WISE J104915.57−531906.1AB (Luhman 16AB), as part of a broader campaign to characterize the spectral energy distribution and temporal variability of this system. A continuous 45-minute sequence of low-resolution IRTF/SpeX data spanning 0.8–2.4 μm were obtained, concurrent with combinedlight optical ph...
متن کاملTime-resolved High Spectral Resolution Observation of 2MASSW J0746425+200032AB
Many brown dwarfs exhibit photometric variability at levels from tenths to tens of percents. The photometric variability is related to magnetic activity or patchy cloud coverage, characteristic of brown dwarfs near the L-T transition. Time-resolved spectral monitoring of brown dwarfs provides diagnostics of cloud distribution and condensate properties. However, current time-resolved spectral st...
متن کاملMultiplicity , kinematics and rotation rates of very young brown dwarfs in Cha
We have studied twelve very young (1–5Myr) bona fide and candidate brown dwarfs in the Cha I star forming region in terms of their kinematic properties, the occurrence of multiple systems among them as well as their rotational characteristics. Based on high-resolution spectra taken with UVES at the VLT (8.2m), radial and rotational velocities have been measured. A kinematic study of the sample ...
متن کاملMicrolensing Events from Measurements of the Deflection
Microlensing events are now regularly being detected by monitoring the flux of a large number of potential sources and measuring the combined magnification of the images. This phenomenon could also be detected directly from the gravitational deflection, by means of high precision astrometry using interferometry. Relative astrometry at the level of 10μas may become possible in the near future. T...
متن کاملSpectroscopic rotation velocities of L dwarfs from VLT/UVES and their comparison with periods from photometric monitoring
The variability and rotation of ultra cool dwarfs (UCDs) provide important information on the atmospheres and evolution of these very low mass stars and brown dwarfs. As part of an ongoing program to investigate this, the projected rotation speeds, v sin i, derived from high resolution VLT/UVES spectroscopy via cross correlation are presented for 16 field UCDs (M9V–L7.5V). This doubles the numb...
