Physical Parameters of Two Very Cool T Dwarfs
We present new infrared spectra of the T8 brown dwarf 2MASS J04151954 0935066: 2.9–4.1 m spectra obtained with the Infrared Camera and Spectrograph on the Subaru Telescope, and 5.2–14.5 m spectra obtained with the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope. We use these data and models to determine an accurate bolometric luminosity of log Lbol /L 1⁄4 5:67 and to constrain the effectiv...
متن کاملModel Atmosphere Analysis of Two Very Cool White Dwarfs
A detailed analysis of the very cool white dwarfs SDSS 1337+00 and LHS 3250 is presented. Model atmosphere calculations with improved collision-induced absorptions by molecular hydrogen indicate that a pure hydrogen composition can be ruled out, and that the strong infrared absorption observed in these cool stars is better explained in terms of collisions of H 2 with neutral helium. It is shown...
متن کاملThe Ages of Very Cool Hydrogen–rich White Dwarfs
The evolution of white dwarfs is essentially a cooling process that depends primarily on the energy stored in their degenerate cores and on the transparency of their envelopes. In this paper we compute accurate cooling sequences for carbon–oxygen white dwarfs with hydrogen dominated atmospheres for the full range of masses of interest. For this purpose we use the most accurate available physica...
متن کاملPure Hydrogen Model Atmospheres for Very Cool White Dwarfs
Microlensing events observed in the line of sight toward the LMC indicate that a significant fraction of the mass of the dark halo of the Galaxy is probably composed of white dwarfs. In addition, white dwarf sequences have now be observed in the HR diagrams of several globular clusters. Because of the unavailability of white dwarf atmospheres for Teff < 4000K, cooling time scales for white dwar...
متن کاملCool versus Ultracool White Dwarfs
A preliminary BV RIJHK analysis of the white dwarfs SSSPM J2231−7514 and SSSPM J2231−7515 is presented. Although both stars were reported to have Teff < 4000 K, the analysis here indicates Teff ≈ 4250 K for both SSSPM J2231−7514 and SSSPM J2231−7515. Given substantial scientific interest in the coolest extant degenerate stars, it is necessary to distinguish sub 4000 K objects from the bulk of c...
