Astro2020 Science White Paper: Fundamental Physics with Brown Dwarfs: The Mass-Radius Relation
Adam Burgasser, Isabelle Baraffe, Matthew Browning +17
The lowest-mass stars, brown dwarfs and giant exoplanets span a minimum in the mass-radius relationship that probes the fundamental physics of extreme states of matter, magnetism,…
Magnetic Fields on the Flare Star Trappist-1: Consequences for Radius Inflation and Planetary Habitability
D. J. Mullan, J. MacDonald, S. Dieterich +1
We construct evolutionary models of Trappist-1 in which magnetic fields impede the onset of convection according to a physics-based criterion. In the models that best fit all obser…
Dynamical Masses of Eps Ind B and C: Two Massive Brown Dwarfs at the Edge of the Stellar-Substellar Boundary
Sergio B. Dieterich, Alycia J. Weinberger, Alan P. Boss +6
We report individual dynamical masses for the brown dwarfs Epsilon Indi B and C, which have spectral types of T1.5 and T6, respectively, measured from astrometric orbit mapping. Ou…
The Solar Neighborhood XLIV: RECONS Discoveries within 10 Parsecs
Todd J. Henry, Wei-Chun Jao, Jennifer G. Winters +7
We describe the 44 systems discovered to be within 10 parsecs of the Sun by the RECONS team, primarily via the long-term astrometry program at CTIO that began in 1999. The systems…
The discovery and mass measurement of a new ultra-short-period planet: EPIC~228732031b
Fei Dai, Joshua N. Winn, Davide Gandolfi +51
We report the discovery of a new ultra-short-period planet and summarize the properties of all such planets for which the mass and radius have been measured. The new planet, EPIC~2…
The Solar Neighborhood XXXVI: The Long-Term Photometric Variability of Nearby Red Dwarfs in the VRI Optical Bands
Altonio D. Hosey, Todd J. Henry, Wei-Chun Jao +5
We present an analysis of long-term photometric variability for nearby red dwarfs at optical wavelengths. The sample consists of 264 M dwarfs south of DEC = +30 with V-K = 3.96-9.1…
