First Detection of Millimeter Dust Emission from Brown Dwarf Disks

Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: We report results from the first deep millimeter continuum survey targeting brown dwarfs (BDs). The survey led to the first detection of cold dust in the disks around two young BDs (CFHT-BD-Tau 4 and IC 348 613), with deep JCMT and IRAM observations reaching flux levels of a few microjanskys. The dust masses are estimated to be a few Earth masses, assuming the same dust opacities as are usually applied to T Tauri stars.
