Lithium detection in young, nearby brown dwarfs

Ngoc Phan-Bao (1)

HCM International University

We present here our search for young brown dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood (distances < 30 parsecs) using the "lithium test" method. A few mid-M dwarfs show strong lithium absorption in their optical spectra. These M dwarfs are indeed young brown dwarfs.They provide benchmarks for studying basic properties of young brown dwarfs. In addition, they are excellent targets for hunting Earth-like planets.
