A population of very young brown dwarfs and free-floating planets in Orion
- Abstract:
-
We describe the results of a very deep imaging survey of the Trapezium cluster in the IJH bands, using the UKIRT high-resolution camera UFTI. Approximately 32 per cent of the 515 point sources detected are brown dwarf candidates, including several free-floating objects with masses below the deuterium-burning (planetary) threshold at 0.013 M⊙, which are detectable because of their extreme youth. We have confidence that almost all the sources detected are cluster members, since foreground conta...
