- W2056789852 abstract "This paper describes a photometric survey for late M-dwarfs from COSMOS measures of R- and I-band UK Schmidt plates. The survey covers some 85 square degrees and includes about 500 M-stars within 100 pc. The luminosity function is sampled down to |$M_Rapprox17(M_Vapprox19)$| with good statistics to |$M_Rapprox16.5$|. The sample includes most of the coolest M-dwarfs known, and about 15 of the reddest stars have also been observed in the infrared, providing the first good statistics in this little-studied regime. In addition, spectra have been obtained for the six reddest stars, which have confirmed the low temperatures deduced from the photometry. Proper motions for two-thirds of the sample stars have been measured and indicate that the reddest stars are younger than the sample as a whole. This conclusion is supported by evidence that they also have a smaller scale height. The observed luminosity function has been compared with theoretical functions from the literature. There are some puzzling discrepancies for the more luminous stars, but there is unambiguous evidence for a steadily rising mass function towards the sample limit and the observations suggest that the local missing mass is in the form of low luminosity stars. The evolutionary status of the low luminosity stars in the sample is examined in the light of two hypotheses. Either stars are on the hydrogen-burning main sequence which extends to much lower luminosities than has hitherto been believed; alternatively they are brown dwarfs in a degenerate cooling phase. The conclusion that the stars are young tends to support the hypothesis that the majority of the faint stars are brown dwarfs, but the situation is still far from clear." @default.
