Magnetic field on the brown dwarf LSR J1835+3259
arXiv:1503.06964
Abstract
We model the full-Stokes spectrum of the brown dwarf LSR J1835+3259 in the bands of the diatomic molecules CrH, TiO, and FeH in order to infer its magnetic properties. The models are then compared to the observational data obtained with the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrograph (LRISp) at the Keck observatory. Our preliminary analysis shows that the brown dwarf considered possesses a magnetic field of the order of 2-3 kG.
