Abstract:
Mass-luminosity relations determined at infrared wavelengths are
presented for stars with masses 1.0 to 0.08 solar masses. Using
infrared speckle imaging techniques on a sample of nearby binaries,
we have been able to concentrate on the lower main sequence
(Mass≤0.5Msun), for which an accurate mass-luminosity calibration
has remained problematic. In addition, the mass-visual luminosity
relation for stars with 2.0≥Mass≥0.08Msun is produced by
implementing new photometric relations linking V to JHK wavelengths
for the nearby stars, supplemented with eclipsing binary information.
These relations predict that objects with masses ∼0.08 solar masses
have M(K)~=10 and M(V)~=18.
