Discovery of the Widest Very Low Mass Field Binary
We present the discovery of the widest (∼ 6700 AU) very low mass field binary to date, found in a proper motion cross-match of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Two Micron All Sky Survey. Our follow-up J-band imaging provides a 10-year baseline for measuring proper motions. Consequently, we are able to confirm the common proper motion of the pair to within 10 mas, implying a 99.5% probabilit...
متن کاملOn the frequency of close binary systems among very low - mass stars and brown dwarfs
We have used Monte Carlo simulation techniques and published radial velocity surveys to constrain the frequency of very low-mass star (VLMS) and brown dwarf (BD) binary systems and their separation (a) distribution. Gaussian models for the separation distribution with a peak at a = 4 au and 0.6 σ log(a/au) 1.0, correctly predict the number of observed binaries, yielding a close (a < 2.6 au) bin...
متن کاملThe Very Low Mass Component of the Gliese 105 System
Multiple-epoch, multicolor images of the astrometric binary Gliese 105A and its very low mass companion Gliese 105C have been obtained using the Hubble Space TelescopeÏs Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) and near-infrared camera and multiobject spectrometer (NICMOS). The optical and near-infrared colors of Gl 105C strongly suggest a spectral type of M7 V for that star. Relative astrometric ...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
15 صفحه اولClose binary systems among very low mass stars and brown dwarfs
Using Monte Carlo simulations and published radial velocity surveys we have constrained the frequency and separation (a) distribution of very low mass star (VLM) and brown dwarf (BD) binary systems. We find that simple Gaussian extensions of the observed wide binary distribution, with a peak at 4 au and 0.6 < σlog(a/au) < 1.0, correctly reproduce the observed number of close binary systems, imp...
