A Census of the Young Cluster IC 348
Kevin Luhman,John R. Stauffer,August Muench,George H. Rieke,Elizabeth A. Lada,Jerome Bouvier,Charles J. Lada +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new census of the stellar and substellar members of the young cluster IC 348 is presented, which contains a total of 288 members, 23 of which are later than M6 and thus are likely to be brown dwarfs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spitzer Observations of IC 348: The Disk Population at 2-3 Million Years
Charles J. Lada,August Muench,Kevin Luhman,Lori E. Allen,Lee Hartmann,Tom Megeath,Philip C. Myers,Giovanni G. Fazio,Kenneth Wood,James Muzerolle,George H. Rieke,Nick Siegler,Erick T. Young +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, near-and mid-infrared photometry obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope of ~300 known members of the IC 348 cluster was used to investigate both the frequency and nature of the circumstellar disk population in the cluster.

Observations of IC348: The Disk Population at 2-3 Million Years
Charles J. Lada,August Muench,K. L. Luhman,Lori Allen,Lee Hartmann,T. Megeath,Phil Myers,G. G. Fazio,Kenneth Wood,James Muzerolle,George Rieke,N. Siegler,Erick T. Young +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, near and mid-infrared photometry obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope of 300 known members of the IC348 cluster was used to obtain the first detailed measurement of the disk frequency for very low mass stars at the peak of the stellar IMF.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Luminosity and Mass Function of the Trapezium Cluster: From B Stars to the Deuterium-burning Limit
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the results of a new multiepoch, multiwavelength, near-infrared census of the Trapezium cluster in Orion to construct and analyze the structure of its infrared (K-band) luminosity function.
Journal ArticleDOI
