A reappraisal of the habitability of planets around M dwarf stars
JC Tarter, PR Backus, RL Mancinelli, JM Aurnou… - Astrobiology, 2007 - liebertpub.com
Stable, hydrogen-burning, M dwarf stars make up about 75% of all stars in the Galaxy. They
are extremely long-lived, and because they are much smaller in mass than the Sun …

New spectral types L and T
JD Kirkpatrick - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2005 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract The establishment of new spectral classes cooler than type M has had a brief, yet
already rich, history. Prototypes of the new “L dwarf” and “T dwarf” classes were first found in …

The field substellar mass function based on the full-sky 20 pc census of 525 L, T, and Y dwarfs
JD Kirkpatrick, CR Gelino, JK Faherty… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We present final Spitzer trigonometric parallaxes for 361 L, T, and Y dwarfs. We combine
these with prior studies to build a list of 525 known L, T, and Y dwarfs within 20 pc of the …

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

The Hawaii infrared parallax program. I. Ultracool binaries and the L/T transition
We present the first results from our high-precision infrared (IR) astrometry program at the
Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope. We measure parallaxes for 83 ultracool dwarfs …

Theoretical isochrones in several photometric systems-I. Johnson-Cousins-Glass, HST/WFPC2, HST/NICMOS, Washington, and ESO Imaging Survey filter sets
We provide tables of theoretical isochrones in several photometric systems. To this aim, the
following steps are followed:(1) first, we re-write the formalism for converting synthetic stellar …

Population properties of brown dwarf analogs to exoplanets
We present a kinematic analysis of 152 low surface gravity M7-L8 dwarfs by adding 18 new
parallaxes (including 10 for comparative field objects), 38 new radial velocities, and 19 new …

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