A New Spectral Class of Brown Dwarfs at the Bottom of the IMF in IC 348
K. L. Luhman, C. Alves de Oliveira
In a previous study, we used JWST to identify three new brown dwarfs in the center of a nearby star-forming cluster, IC 348. The faintest object had an estimated mass of 3-4 $M_{\r…
Dynamical histories of the IC348 and NGC1333 star-forming regions in Perseus
Richard J. Parker, Catarina Alves de Oliveira
We present analyses of the spatial distributions of stars in the young (1 - 3 Myr) star-forming regions IC348 and NGC1333 in the Perseus Giant Molecular Cloud. We quantify the spat…
Herschel's view of the large-scale structure in the Chamaeleon dark clouds
C. Alves de Oliveira, N. Schneider, B. Merín +17
The Chamaeleon molecular cloud complex is one of the nearest star-forming sites encompassing three molecular clouds with a different star-formation history, from quiescent (Cha III…
Herschel survey of brown dwarf disks in Rho Ophiuchi
C. Alves de Oliveira, P. Ábrahám, G. Marton +6
Recent observations of the Rho Ophiuchi cluster with the Herschel Space Observatory allow us to probe the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the brown dwarf population in the fa…
A search for mass segregation of stars and brown dwarfs in ρ Ophiuchi
Richard J. Parker, Thomas Maschberger, Catarina Alves de Oliveira
We apply two different algorithms to search for mass segregation to a recent observational census of the rho Ophiuchi star forming region. Firstly, we apply the Lambda_MSR method,…
Spectroscopy of new brown dwarf members of rho Ophiuchi and an updated initial mass function
C. Alves de Oliveira, E. Moraux, J. Bouvier +1
To investigate the universality hypothesis of the initial mass function in the substellar regime, the population of the rho Ophiuchi molecular cloud is analysed by including a new…
The low-mass population of the Rho Ophiuchi molecular cloud
C. Alves de Oliveira, E. Moraux, J. Bouvier +3
Star formation theories are currently divergent regarding the fundamental physical processes that dominate the substellar regime. Observations of nearby young open clusters allow t…
