Multiwaveband photometry of the irradiated brown dwarf WD0137−349B
WD0137−349 is a white dwarf–brown dwarf binary system in a 116 min orbit. We present radial velocity observations and multiwaveband photometry from V, R and I in the optical, to J, H and Ks in the near-IR and [3.6], [4.5], [5.8] and [8.0] μm in the mid-IR. The photometry and light curves show variability in all wavebands, with the amplitude peaking at [4.5] μm, where the system is also brightes...
متن کاملthe effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends
flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...
Photometric Variability of the T2.5 Brown Dwarf Simp J013656.5+093347; Evidence for Evolving Weather Patterns
We report the discovery of a photometric variability in the bright T2.5 brown dwarf SIMP J013656.57+093347.3. Continuous J-band photometry has been obtained for several hours on four different nights. The light curves show a periodic modulation with a period of ∼2.4 hours, a peak-to-peak amplitude of ∼ 50 mmag and significant night-to-night evolution. We suggest that the light curve modulation ...
متن کاملPHL 5038 : A spatially resolved white dwarf + brown dwarf binary
A near-infrared excess is detected at the white dwarf PHL 5038 in UKIDSS photometry, consistent with the presence of a cool, substellar companion. We have obtained Hand K-grism spectra and images of PHL 5038 using NIRI on Gemini North. The target is spatially and spectrally resolved into two components; an 8000 K DA white dwarf, and a likely L8 brown dwarf companion, separated by 0.94 ′′. The s...
متن کاملBrown dwarf formation by binary disruption
Context. The principal mechanism by which brown dwarfs form, and its relation to the formation of higher-mass (i.e. hydrogenburning) stars, is poorly understood. Aims. We advocate a new model for the formation of brown dwarfs. Methods. In this model, brown dwarfs are initially binary companions, formed by gravitational fragmentation of the outer parts (R >∼ 100 AU) of protostellar discs around ...
