Theory of low-mass stars, brown dwarfs and extra-solar giant planets

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the most recent improvements in the theory of low-mass star-like objects, in the stellar and sub-stellar domains, is presented, along with a comparison with various recent observations.

Are the red dwarfs in cataclysmic variables main-sequence stars?

TL;DR: In this article, the secondaries in short-period cataclysmic variables with orbital periods $P 3$ hr correspond to main sequence stars, while the majority of secondaries have later spectral types.

A study of convective core overshooting as a function of stellar mass based on two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors perform 2D numerical simulations of core convection for zero-age main-sequence stars covering a mass range from 3 M to 20 M. The simulations are performed with the fully compressible time-implicit code MUSIC.

Latest news on the Physics of Brown dwarfs

TL;DR: The physics of brown dwarfs have continuously improved since the discovery of these astrophysical bodies as discussed by the authors, with the derivation of an appropriate equation of state, and the modelling of their atmosphere characterised by strong molecular absorption.
