The Initial Mass Function Based on the Full-sky 20 pc Census of∼ 3600 Stars and Brown Dwarfs

JD Kirkpatrick, F Marocco, CR Gelino… - The Astrophysical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
A complete accounting of nearby objects—from the highest-mass white dwarf progenitors
down to low-mass brown dwarfs—is now possible, thanks to an almost complete set of …

A near-infrared interferometric survey of debris-disc stars-III. First statistics based on 42 stars observed with CHARA/FLUOR

O Absil, D Defrere, VC Du Foresto, E Di Folco… - Astronomy & …, 2013 - aanda.org
Context. Dust is expected to be ubiquitous in extrasolar planetary systems owing to the
dynamical activity of minor bodies. Inner dust populations are, however, still poorly known …
