Time-resolved Optical Polarization Monitoring of the Most Variable Brown Dwarf

Time-resolved Optical Polarization Monitoring of the Most Variable Brown Dwarf

Recent atmospheric models for brown dwarfs suggest that the existence of clouds in substellar objects is not needed to reproduce their spectra, nor their rotationally induced photometric variability, believed to be due to the heterogeneous cloud coverage of brown dwarf atmospheres. Cloud-free atmosp...
