Analyses of Multiple Balmer Emission Lines from Accreting Brown Dwarfs and Very Low Mass Stars

Jun Hashimoto, Yuhiko Aoyama

A planetary growth rate, a.k.a., the mass accretion rate, is a fundamental parameter in planet formation, as it determines a planet's final mass. Planetary mass accretion rates hav…
