Impact of Electron Precipitation on Brown Dwarf Atmospheres and the Missing Auroral H Emission
J. Sebastian Pineda, Gregg Hallinan, Jean Michel Desert +1
Recent observations have demonstrated that very-low mass stars and brown dwarfs are capable of sustaining strong magnetic fields despite their cool and neutral atmospheres. These k…
Magnetospherically driven optical and radio aurorae at the end of the stellar main sequence
G. Hallinan, S. P. Littlefair, G. Cotter +12
Aurorae are detected from all the magnetized planets in our Solar System, including Earth. They are powered by magnetospheric current systems that lead to the precipitation of ener…
Periodic Optical Variability of Radio Detected Ultracool Dwarfs
Leon K. Harding, Gregg Hallinan, Richard P. Boyle +5
A fraction of very low mass stars and brown dwarfs are known to be radio active, in some cases producing periodic pulses. Extensive studies of two such objects have also revealed o…
