Evolutionary Models for Very Low‐Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs with Dusty Atmospheres

We present evolutionary calculations for very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs based on synthetic spectra and nongray atmosphere models which include dust formation and opacity, i.e., objects with T eff ≲ 2800 K. The interior of the most massive brown dwarfs is shown to develop a conductive core afte... View More
