... higher temperatures -- faster motion -- higher energy particles -- break into nucleus . ... Spectral type depends on the stellar mass: high mass stars are profiligate with their fuel supply, and have brief, but spectacular, careers; M dwarfs live forever. Stellar lifetimes range from several million years for stars with 100 solar masses . ... These `failed stars' are known as 'brown dwarfs'. ... a brown dwarf of 0.01 M(sun) (10 Jupiter masses) takes only 10 7 years to reach the same limit. ...

... Brown dwarfs are bodies intermediate in mass between stars and planets. ... Recent studies have shown that young brown dwarfs, like young stars, may be surrounded by accretion disks. In some cases these disks appear to be highly evolved, suggesting they are in the early phases of planetary formation. As accretion is often accompanied by outflows in newborn stars, we have been searching for jets from young brown dwarfs. ...

... DISK т?? ... ALMA sizes up grains of cosmic dust around failed star . The discovery of millimeter-sized dust grains around a brown dwarf suggests that this disk is more similar to the ones around young stars than previously thought. ... Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have for the first time found that the outer region of a dusty disk encircling a brown dwarf contains millimeter-sized solid grains like those found in denser disks around newborn stars. ...

... More on 51 Peg: . The discovery of a Jupiter--mass planet in orbit around the solar--type star 51Peg has been reported by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz (Geneva Observatory) on October 6th at the 9th Cambridge workshop on "cool stars, stellar systems, and the sun" held at Florence (Italy). ... Recall that the measurements of radial velocity only yield v sin i which in turn gives us M sin i. For most values of i, sin i will be greater than 0.5 and this gives a mass estimate of 0.5 Jupiter masses. ...

... This talk focuses on exploring the connection between Ly absorbers and galaxies. The theorist view of gas in the low z universe is based on the filamentary structures that are evident in simulations based on the CDM paradigm. ... The observer's view of gas in the low-z universe is based on the Ly absorbers which have column densities as low as 10 cm , while galaxies are at column densities of 10 cm . ... The absorber has N cm . ... Can examine LSS defined by gas-rich galaxies around absorbers. ...

Giant planets and brown dwarfs around A-F type stars: a Harps survey Simon Borgniet, Anne-Marie Lagrange, Franck Galland, NadХge Meunier Institut de PlanИtologie et d'Astrophysique de Grenoble (France) Email : Simon.Borgniet@obs.ujf-grenoble.fr Abstract: Since 1995, the radial velocity technique has allowed to detect nearly 600 planets and has widely contributed to the dramatical improvement of our knowledge of exoplanets. ... Data Reduction : Early-type stars : few spectral lines, rotation-broadened. ...

... Indeed, one alteration of orbits can be the outright ejection of a planet. When several big planets are orbiting a star under each other's influence, the system is inherently unstable. ... We know of no good reason why the smallest objects with fusion should have the same mass as the smallest objects that can form by themselves. ... 6) Mission Definition . ... I don't think this mission is impossible, and will suggest a definition in a future article in Mercury. ... Good luck! . ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... A tidbit of news on the brown dwarf front came in this week. Regular readers may remember that brown dwarfs are objects that are intermediate in mass between a planet and a star . ... So this is even better evidence that brown dwarfs form like stars and not planets. Brown dwarfs may not turn out to be the 'missing link' between planets and stars the way some astronomers thought a few years ago, but they are providing clues on just how stars and planets do form. ...

... However, while low mass stars are usually found to form in loose groups with densities of a few stars per cubic parsecs, high mass stars are known to form in dense clusters with up to 10000 stars per cubic parsec. ... We have undertaken a survey of a cospicuous number of fields around intermediate mass young stars (Herbig Ae/Be stars, HAeBe) with the aim of detect and characterize the groups of young stars that may have formed together with the HAeBe star. ... BD +404124 - A rich, compact cluster. ...
