Detection of strong activity in the eclipsing binary brown dwarf 2MASSJ05352184-0546085 - A possible explanation for the temperature reversal
A. Reiners, A. Seifahrt, K. G. Stassun +2
We show high resolution spectra of the eclipsing brown dwarf binary 2MASSJ05352184-0546085 taken at the two opposite radial velocity maxima. Comparisons of the TiO bands to model a…
Discovery of Par 1802 as a Low-Mass, Pre-Main-Sequence Eclipsing Binary in the Orion Star-Forming Region
P. A. Cargile, K. G. Stassun, R. D. Mathieu
We report the discovery of a pre-main-sequence, low-mass, double-lined, spectroscopic, eclipsing binary in the Orion star-forming region. We present our observations including radi…
The Effect of Binarity on Stellar Rotation - Beyond the Reach of Tides
S. Meibom, R. D. Mathieu, K. G. Stassun
We present a comparison between the rotation period distributions of solar-type single stars and primary stars in close binaries (0.1 AU ~< a ~< 5 AU) in the young (150 Myr) open c…
The Monitor project: JW 380 -- a 0.26, 0.15 Msol pre main sequence eclipsing binary in the Orion Nebula Cluster
Jonathan Irwin, Suzanne Aigrain, Simon Hodgkin +14
We report the discovery of a low-mass (0.26 +/- 0.02, 0.15 +/- 0.01 Msol) pre-main-sequence eclipsing binary with a 5.3 day orbital period. JW 380 was detected as part of a high-ca…
Periodic accretion from a circumbinary disk in the young binary UZ Tau E
Eric L. N. Jensen, Saurav Dhital, Keivan G. Stassun +6
Close pre-main-sequence binary stars are expected to clear central holes in their protoplanetary disks, but the extent to which material can flow from the circumbinary disk across…
A Surprising Reversal of Temperatures in the Brown-Dwarf Eclipsing Binary 2MASS J05352184-0546085
Keivan G. Stassun, Robert D. Mathieu, Jeff A. Valenti
The newly discovered brown-dwarf eclipsing binary 2MASS J05352184-0546085 provides a unique laboratory for testing the predictions of theoretical models of brown-dwarf formation an…
