Testing the existence of optical linear polarization in young brown dwarfs
E. Manjavacas, P. A. Miles-Páez, M. R. Zapatero-Osorio +5
Linear polarization can be used as a probe of the existence of atmospheric condensates in ultracool dwarfs. Models predict that the observed linear polarization increases withthe d…
Parallax measurements of cool brown dwarfs
E. Manjavacas, B. Goldman, S. Reffert +1
Accurate parallax measurements allow us to determine physical properties of brown dwarfs, and help us to constrain evolutionary and atmospheric models, break the age-mass degenerac…
The substellar mass function in the central region of the open cluster Praesepe from deep LBT observations
Wei Wang, Steve Boudreault, Bertrand Goldman +3
Studies of the mass function (MF) of open clusters of different ages allow us to probe the efficiency with which brown dwarfs evaporate from clusters to populate the field. Surveys…
The substellar mass function in the central region of the open cluster Praesepe from deep LBT observations
W. Wang, S. Boudreault, B. Goldman +3
Studies of the mass function (MF) of open clusters of different ages allow us to probe the efficiency with which brown dwarfs (BDs) are evaporated from clusters to populate the fie…
Resolving the L/T transition binary SDSS J2052-1609 AB
M. B. Stumpf, K. Geißler, H. Bouy +3
Binaries provide empirical key constraints for star formation theories, like the overall binary fraction, mass ratio distribution and the separation distribution. They play a cruci…
VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV): The public ESO near-IR variability survey of the Milky Way
D. Minniti, P. W. Lucas, J. P. Emerson +63
We describe the public ESO near-IR variability survey (VVV) scanning the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent section of the mid-plane where star formation activity is high. The survey…
Brown dwarfs and very low mass stars in the Praesepe open cluster: a dynamically unevolved mass function?
S. Boudreault, C. A. L. Bailer-Jones, B. Goldman +2
[Abridged] In this paper, we present the results of a photometric survey to identify low mass and brown dwarf members of the old open cluster Praesepe (age of 590[+150][-120]Myr an…
Polarisation of very-low-mass stars and brown dwarfs
B. Goldman, J. Pitann, M. R. Zapatero Osorio +4
Ultra-cool dwarfs of the L spectral type (Teff=1400-2200K) are known to have dusty atmospheres. Asymmetries of the dwarf surface may arise from rotationally-induced flattening and…
Binarity at the L/T brown dwarf transition
B. Goldman, H. Bouy, M. R. Zapatero Osorio +3
Current atmospheric models cannot reproduce some of the characteristics of the transition between the L dwarfs with cloudy atmospheres and the T dwarfs with dust-depleted photosphe…
