Brown Dwarf Formation Through Gravitational Collapse: Insights From 3D Numerical Simulations

Adnan Ali Ahmad, Benoît Commerçon, Gilles Chabrier +1

The formation mechanism of Brown Dwarfs (BDs), whether akin to stars or ejected planetary-mass objects, remains debated. We present the first 3D radiation-MHD simulations of magnet…

Roadmap for warm dense matter physics

Jan Vorberger, Frank Graziani, David Riley +71

This roadmap presents the state-of-the-art, current challenges and near future developments anticipated in the thriving field of warm dense matter physics. Originating from strongl…

A consistent explanation for the unusual initial mass function and star formation rate in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ)

Gilles Chabrier, Pierre Dumond

We examine various physical processes that may explain the shallow high-mass slope of the IMF as well as the low SFR in star-forming molecular clouds (MCs) in the Central Molecular…

JWST/NIRSpec Observations of the Coldest Known Brown Dwarf

K. L. Luhman, P. Tremblin, C. Alves de Oliveira +6

We present 1-5um spectroscopy of the coldest known brown dwarf, WISE J085510.83-071442.5 (WISE 0855), performed with the Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on board the James Web…

Impact of a new H/He equation of state on the evolution of massive brown dwarfs. New determination of the hydrogen burning limit

G. Chabrier, I. Baraffe, M. Phillips +1

We have explored the impact of the latest equation of state (EOS) for dense hydrogen-helium mixtures (Chabrier \& Debras 2021), which takes into account the interactions between hy…

Idealised simulations of the deep atmosphere of hot jupiters: Deep, hot, adiabats as a robust solution to the radius inflation problem

F. Sainsbury-Martinez, P. Wang, S. Fromang +10

Context: The anomalously large radii of hot Jupiters has long been a mystery. However, by combining both theoretical arguments and 2D models, a recent study has suggested that the…
