Very Low Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs in Taurus
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
We present high resolution optical spectra obtained with the Keck I telescope of low mass T Tauri stars and brown dwarfs in the Taurus star forming region. Based on the inferred photospheric and circumstellar properties, we conclude that objects in Taurus with masses as low as 50 Jupiters form and evolve in the same way as higher-mass T Tauri stars, but with smaller disks and shorter disk lifetimes.
