BROWN DWARF Brown Dwarfs and Extrasolar Planets
Coordinator: ASTRONOMICAL INSTITUTE OF THE SLOVAK ACADEMY OF SCIENCES (SK)
There is a recent observational evidence that some young very low mass objects exhibit a strong photometric variability. The origin of this variability is mysterious and various scenarios such as an ongoing magnetospheric accretion or eclipses by planetary companions are possible. The aim of this proposal is to search for any associated spectroscopic variability of these objects. This will enable us to classify the objects, confirm/refute their brown dwarf status, determine their basic properties (temperatures, radii, masses, ages), distinguish between various scenarios, explore other alterna…
About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
EU contribution: €75k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 3 years from 2007-10-01 to 2010-09-30.
