摘要:

目前已确认的褐矮星(brown dwarfs,BD)数量超过700颗。然而,我们对这些很酷的物体仍然缺乏了解,模型正在努力准确地再现观测结果。所需要的是一种校准模型的方法,其属性(例如年龄、质量、距离、金属丰度)可以独立确定的BD可以提供这种校准。如果我们要能够测量不久的将来调查将揭示的更微弱,更遥远的BD种群的特性,那么基于可观测量计算特性的能力将是至关重要的,地面光谱研究将变得越来越困难。我们在这里提出的状态,目前人口的年龄基准褐矮星。

英文摘要:

The number of brown dwarfs (BDs) now identified tops 700. Yet our understanding of these cool objects is still lacking, and models are struggling to accurately reproduce observations. What is needed is a method of calibrating the models, BDs whose properties (e.g. age, mass, distance, metallicity) that can be independently determined can provide such calibration. The ability to calculate properties based on observables is set to be of vital importance if we are to be able to measure the properties of fainter, more distant populations of BDs that near-future surveys will reveal, for which ground based spectroscopic studies will become increasingly difficult. We present here the state of the current population of age benchmark brown dwarfs.
