Astro2020 Science White Paper: Fundamental Physics with Brown Dwarfs: The Mass-Radius Relation


Abstract in English

The lowest-mass stars, brown dwarfs and giant exoplanets span a minimum in the mass-radius relationship that probes the fundamental physics of extreme states of matter, magnetism, and fusion. This White Paper outlines scientific opportunities and the necessary resources for modeling and measuring the mass-radius relationship in this regime.
