Theoretical Spectral Models of T Dwarfs at Short Wavelengths and Their Comparison with Data
Theoretical Spectral Models of T Dwarfs at Short Wavelengths and Their Comparison with Data
We have generated new, self-consistent spectral and atmosphere models for the effective temperature range 600-1300 K thought to encompass the known T dwarfs. For the first time, theoretical models are compared with a family of measured T dwarf spectra at wavelengths shortward of ~1.0 μm. By defining spectral indices and …
