Theory of low-mass stars, brown dwarfs and extra-solar giant planets
Gilles Chabrier,Isabelle Baraffe +1 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of convective core overshooting as a function of stellar mass based on two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations
Isabelle Baraffe,J. Clarke,Adrien Morison,Dimitar G. Vlaykov,Thomas Constantino,T. Goffrey,Thomas Guillet,A. Le Saux,Jane Pratt +8 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brown dwarfs and very low mass stars in the Hyades cluster : a dynamically evolved mass function
Jerome Bouvier,T. R. Kendall,Gwendolyn Meeus,Leonardo Testi,Leonardo Testi,Estelle Moraux,John R. Stauffer,David James,Jean-Charles Cuillandre,Jonathan Irwin,Mark J. McCaughrean,Isabelle Baraffe,Emmanuel Bertin +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a search for brown dwarfs (BDs) and very low mass (VLM) stars in the 625 Myr-old Hyades cluster was conducted to derive the cluster's mass function across the stellar-substellar boundary.
Book ChapterDOI
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.
