Towards a consistent model of the Galaxy: I. kinematic properties, star counts and microlensing observations
D. Méra, G. Chabrier, R. Schaeffer
We examine the most recent observational constraints arising from i) small-scale and large-scale Galactic dynamical properties, ii) star counts at faint magnitude and iii) microlen…
Towards a consistent model of the Galaxy: II. Derivation of the model
D. Méra, G. Chabrier, R. Schaeffer
We use the calculations derived in a previous paper (Méra, Chabrier and Schaeffer, 1997), based on observational constraints arising from star counts, microlensing experiments and…
Determination of the globular cluster and halo stellar mass functions and stellar and brown dwarf densities
Gilles Chabrier, Dominique Méra
We use recent low-mass star models, which reproduce accurately the observed sequences of various globular clusters, to convert the observed luminosity functions into bolometric lum…
Contribution of brown dwarfs and white dwarfs to recent microlensing observations and to the halo mass budget
Gilles Chabrier, Laurent Segretain, Dominique Méra
We examine the recent results of the MACHO collaboration towards the Large Magellanic Cloud (Alcock et al. 1996) in terms of a halo brown dwarf or white dwarf population. The possi…
