NICMOS Kernel-phase Interferometry. II. Demographics of Nearby Brown Dwarfs

Star formation theories have struggled to reproduce binary brown dwarf population demographics (e.g., frequency, separation, and mass ratio). Kernel-phase interferometry is sensitive to companions at separations inaccessible to classical imaging, enabling tests of these theories at new physical scal...
