The time domain for brown dwarfs and directly imaged giant exoplanets: the power of variability monitoring

B Biller - Astronomical Review, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
Variability has now been robustly observed in a range of L and T type field brown dwarfs,
primarily at near-IR and mid-IR wavelengths. The probable cause of this variability is surface …
