Mid-infrared imaging of brown dwarfs in binary systems
Context. Brown dwarfs exhibit complex atmospheric signatures, and their properties depend sensitively on effective temperature, surface gravity, and metallicity. Several physical properties of brown dwarfs in binary systems can be well inferred from the primary, and therefore allow to better constrain their atmospheres. Aims. We want to constrain atmospheric models of brown dwarfs in binary sys...
متن کاملBinary Brown Dwarfs in the Galactic Halo?
Microlensing events towards the Large Magellanic Cloud entail that a sizable fraction of dark matter is in the form of MACHOs (Massive Astrophysical Compact Halo Objects), presumably located in the halo of the Galaxy. Within the present uncertainties, brown dwarfs are a viable candidate for MACHOs. Various reasons strongly suggest that a large amount of MACHOs should actually consist of binary ...
متن کاملGaia brown dwarfs and binary detections through timing orbits
Duplicity detection may also be done through the analysis of the light curves of variable stars. A light-time effect due to 10 Jupiter mass companions with period > 11 yr may be tested on more than 10 stars observed by Gaia.
متن کاملAdaptive Optics Observations of Exoplanets, Brown Dwarfs, and Binary Stars
The current direct observations of brown dwarfs and exoplanets have been obtained using instruments not specifically designed for overcoming the large contrast ratio between the host star and any wide-separation faint companions. However, we are about to witness the birth of several new dedicated observing platforms specifically geared towards high contrast imaging of these objects. The Gemini ...
متن کاملConvection in brown dwarfs
We briefly review the crucial effect that convection plays in the evolution, interior and atmospheric physics of brown dwarfs. In particular, we discuss: (1) the role of convection in the interior structure and evolution of brown dwarfs (BDs); (2) the importance of convection in the atmospheres of ultra-cool objects, at both high and low gravities (i.e., in both young and old BDs); and (3) the ...
