Abstract
One useful approach to help in the identification of yet undiscovered brown dwarfs may be to use model atmospheres to predict major observable properties. As a simplest possible approach, we applied the methodology of model stellar atmospheres to substellar objects, and we constructed a unified grid of model atmospheres for stellar and substellar objects covering the Teff range between 1000 and 4000K (log g = 5. 0 and v micro = 1. 0 km s-1 throughout) with metallicities (Z′s) of the disk and halo (Tsuji and Ohnaka 1994).
