Published purpose
Isolated brown dwarfs are good examples of what extrasolar planets look like, while also being much easier to study as their observations are not hindered by the glare of a host star. This project will study how the content and properties of brown dwarf clouds depend on the temperature and pressure in their atmospheres, and thereby on their age. The observations will be very important for understanding the clouds and atmospheres of both brown dwarfs and extrasolar planets, and for interpreting future observations with JWST.
