Fundamental parameters and spectral energy distributions of young and field age objects with masses spanning the stellar to planetary regime

JC Filippazzo, EL Rice, J Faherty, KL Cruz… - The Astrophysical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We combine optical, near-infrared, and mid-infrared spectra and photometry to construct
expanded spectral energy distributions for 145 field age (> 500 Myr) and 53 young (lower …

Neglected clouds in T and Y dwarf atmospheres

CV Morley, JJ Fortney, MS Marley… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
As brown dwarfs cool, a variety of species condense in their atmospheres, forming clouds.
Iron and silicate clouds shape the emergent spectra of L dwarfs, but these clouds dissipate …

The Hawaii infrared parallax program. II. Young ultracool field dwarfs

MC Liu, TJ Dupuy, KN Allers - The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a large, uniform analysis of young (≈ 10–150 Myr) ultracool dwarfs, based on
new high-precision infrared (IR) parallaxes for 68 objects. We find that low-gravity (vl-g) late …
