Optical excitations in electron microscopy

FJ García de Abajo - Reviews of modern physics, 2010 - APS
This review discusses how low-energy valence excitations created by swift electrons can
render information on the optical response of structured materials with unmatched spatial …

The field substellar mass function based on the full-sky 20 pc census of 525 L, T, and Y dwarfs

JD Kirkpatrick, CR Gelino, JK Faherty… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We present final Spitzer trigonometric parallaxes for 361 L, T, and Y dwarfs. We combine
these with prior studies to build a list of 525 known L, T, and Y dwarfs within 20 pc of the …

orvara: An Efficient Code to Fit Orbits Using Radial Velocity, Absolute, and/or Relative Astrometry

The solar neighborhood. XLV. The stellar multiplicity rate of M dwarfs within 25 pc

JG Winters, TJ Henry, WC Jao… - The Astronomical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We present results of the largest, most comprehensive study ever done of the stellar
multiplicity of the most common stars in the Galaxy, the red dwarfs. We have conducted an …

The Hawaii infrared parallax program. I. Ultracool binaries and the L/T transition

TJ Dupuy, MC Liu - The Astrophysical Journal Supplement …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the first results from our high-precision infrared (IR) astrometry program at the
Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope. We measure parallaxes for 83 ultracool dwarfs …

The evolution of L and T dwarfs in color-magnitude diagrams

D Saumon, MS Marley - The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We present new evolution sequences for very low mass stars, brown dwarfs, and giant
planets and use them to explore a variety of influences on the evolution of these objects …

LkCa 15: a young exoplanet caught at formation?

AL Kraus, MJ Ireland - The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
Young and directly imaged exoplanets offer critical tests of planet-formation models that are
not matched by radial velocity surveys of mature stars. These targets have been extremely …

Individual Dynamical Masses of Ultracool Dwarfs

TJ Dupuy, MC Liu - The Astrophysical Journal Supplement …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the full results of our decade-long astrometric monitoring programs targeting 31
ultracool binaries with component spectral types M7–T5. Joint analysis of resolved imaging …

Mapping the shores of the Brown Dwarf desert. II. Multiple star formation in Taurus–Auriga

AL Kraus, MJ Ireland, F Martinache… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We have conducted a high-resolution imaging study of the Taurus–Auriga star-forming
region in order to characterize the primordial outcome of multiple star formation and the …

The impact of stellar multiplicity on planetary systems. I. The ruinous influence of close binary companions

AL Kraus, MJ Ireland, D Huber, AW Mann… - The Astronomical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
The dynamical influence of binary companions is expected to profoundly influence planetary
systems. However, the difficulty of identifying planets in binary systems has left the …
