Confronting Substellar Theoretical Models with Stellar Ages
By definition, brown dwarfs never reach the main-sequence, cooling and dimming over their entire lifetime, thus making substellar models challenging to test because of the strong dependence on age. Currently, most brown dwarfs with independently determined ages are companions to nearby stars, so stellar ages are at the heart of the effort to test substellar models. However, these models are onl...
متن کاملStellar Ages from Stellar Rotation
Our ability to determine stellar ages from measurements of stellar rotation, hinges on how well we can measure the dependence of rotation on age for stars of different masses. Rotation periods for stars in open clusters are essential to determine the relations between stellar age, rotation, and mass (color). Until recently, ambiguities in v sin i data and lack of cluster membership information,...
متن کاملInfrared Colors at the Stellar / Substellar Boundary
We present new infrared JHK photometry for 61 halo and disk stars around the stellar/substellar boundary. We also present new L ′ photometry for 21 of these stars and for 40 low–mass stars taken from the Leggett 1992 photometry compilation. These data are combined with available optical photometry and astrometric data to produce color–color and absolute magnitude–color diagrams — the current sa...
متن کاملAccretion in Young Stellar/Substellar Objects
We present a study of accretion in a sample of 45 young, low mass objects in a variety of star forming regions and young associations, about half of which are likely substellar. Based primarily on the presence of broad, asymmetric Hα emission, we have identified 13 objects (∼30% of our sample) which are strong candidates for ongoing accretion. At least 3 of these are substellar. We do not detec...
متن کاملRelativistic Stellar Models with Quadratic Equation of State
In this paper, we have obtained and presented new relativistic stellar configurations considering an anisotropic fluid distribution with a charge distribution and a gravitational potential Z(x) that depends on an adjustable parameter. The quadratic equation of state based on Feroze and Siddiqui viewpoint is used for the matter distribution. The new solutions can be written in terms of elementar...
