Candidate Brown Dwarfs in Orion OB1b
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
We have photometrically identified eleven candidate brown dwarfs in 0.2 deg2 of the Orion OB1b association. This is consistent with a rising mass function down to ~0.06M⊙. Assuming the IMF of Kroupa (2002) this suggests a population of 40–200 brown dwarfs per deg2 (0.01M<0.075M⊙).
