Fundamental Parameters and Spectral Energy Distributions of Young and Field Age Objects with Masses Spanning the Stellar to Planetary Regime
@article{Filippazzo2015FundamentalPA, title={Fundamental Parameters and Spectral Energy Distributions of Young and Field Age Objects with Masses Spanning the Stellar to Planetary Regime}, author={Joseph C. Filippazzo and Emily L. Rice and Jacqueline K. Faherty and Kelle L. Cruz and Mollie M. Van Gordon and Dagny L. Looper}, journal={The Astrophysical Journal}, year={2015}, volume={810}, pages={158} }
We combine optical, near-infrared and mid-infrared spectra and photometry to construct expanded spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for 145 field age (\textgreater 500 Myr) and 53 young (lower age estimate \textless 500 Myr) ultracool dwarfs (M6-T9). This range of spectral types includes very low mass stars, brown dwarfs, and planetary mass objects, providing fundamental parameters across both the hydrogen and deuterium burning minimum masses for the largest sample assembled to date.
