Structure and evolution of low-mass stars
read the original abstract
We present extensive calculations of the structure and the evolution of low-massstars in the range 0.07-0.8 $\msol$, for metallicities $-2.0\le \mh \le 0.0$. These calculations are based on the most recent description of the microphysics characteristic of these dense and cool objects and on the lattest generation of grainless non-grey atmosphere models. We examine the evolution of the different mechanical and thermal properties of these objects as a function of mass and metallicity. We also demonstrate the inaccuracy of grey models and $T(\tau)$ relationships under these conditions. We provide detailed tables of the mass-radius-luminosity-effective temperature relations for various ages and metallicities, aimed at calibrating existing or future observations of low-mass stars and massive brown dwarfs. We derive new hydrogen-burning minimum masses, within the afore-mentioned metallicity range. These minimum masses are found to be smaller than previous estimates, a direct consequence of non-grey effects. At last, we examine the evolution of the abundance of light elements, $Li, Be$ and $B$, as a function of age, mass and metallicity.

Testing the reliability of magnetic field strength measurements for M dwarfs
Synthetic spectra tests show Zeeman broadening recovers M dwarf magnetic field strengths more reliably with joint abundance fitting and WAIC selection than with free line strengths or BIC/AIC, which underestimate by 3...
