Bridging the Gap Between Stars and Planets: The Formation and Early Evolution of Brown Dwarfs
Subhanjoy Mohanty, Adam Burgasser, Gilles Chabrier +17
This White Paper, submitted to the National Academy of Sciences' Astro2010 Decadal Review Committee, focuses on 2 central themes in the study of young brown dwarfs -- their formati…
Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems (FEPS): Properties of Debris Dust around Solar-type Stars
John M. Carpenter, Jeroen Bouwman, Eric E. Mamajek +12
We present Spitzer photometric (IRAC and MIPS) and spectroscopic (IRS low resolution) observations for 314 stars in the Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems (FEPS) Legacy p…
The Complete Census of 70-um-Bright Debris Disks within the FEPS (Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems) Spitzer Legacy Survey of Sun-like Stars
Lynne A. Hillenbrand, John M. Carpenter, Jinyoung Serena Kim +7
(abbreviated) We report detection with the Spitzer Space Telescope of cool dust surrounding solar type stars. The observations were performed as part of the Legacy Science Program,…
Evolution of Mid-IR Excess Around Sun-like Stars: Constraints on Models of Terrestrial Planet Formation
M. R. Meyer, J. M. Carpenter, E. E. Mamajek +11
We report observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) regarding the frequency of 24 micron excess emission toward sun-like stars. Our unbiased sample is comprised of 309 st…
A Survey for Massive Giant Planets in Debris Disks with Evacuated Inner Cavities
D. Apai, M. Janson, A. Moro-Martin +9
The commonality of collisionally replenished debris around main sequence stars suggests that minor bodies are frequent around Sun-like stars. Whether or not debris disks in general…
The Formation of Brown Dwarfs: Observations
Kevin L. Luhman, Viki Joergens, Charles Lada +3
We review the current state of observational work on the formation of brown dwarfs, focusing on their initial mass function, velocity and spatial distributions at birth, multiplici…
