What is recorded here?
Rebolo and colleagues reported a lithium absorption feature in spectra of the Pleiades objects Teide 1 and Calar 3. They combined the spectral feature with luminosity and evolutionary models to support the interpretation that these objects are brown dwarfs.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The lithium feature overlaps molecular bands at the available resolution, and inferred masses depend on the atmospheric models, temperature calibration and assumed cluster age. The earlier object discovery and lithium-test proposals are separate contributions.
