Abstract

The formation and migration of brown dwarfs around main sequence stars remain a mystery, and the discovery of close-in (a<0.1 AU) systems, which are often transiting, poses new challenges for understanding star and planet formation, regardless of whether brown dwarfs are more similar to stars or to planets. The histogram of orbital separations can reveal how binary systems form and evolve. Here we concentrate on binary systems consisting of a main sequence F,G, or K star and a brown dwarf. We update the orbital separation - occurrence rate relationship with the latest measurements which provides the same information as the aforementioned histogram. We give an estimate of the brown dwarf occurrence rate from the K2 survey by comparing ...
