Hello,
Lately I have been having some questions about the colour of brown dwarfs and I figured you guys might be able to help me out.
The temperature of brown dwarfs ranges from about 2000 K (late M type) to 200-300 K (Y type).
I thought the black bosy radiation would just continue after red dwarfs, so late M brown dwarfs would just be deeper orange. Black bosy radiation stops in visible light at around 1000K, at which I would think a brown dwarf would just look black to the human eye.
I read something about brown dwarfs looking magenta due to methane in the atmosphere absorbing most red light.
So my question is: What could the temperature range be for brown dwarfs, to look magenta? And do brown dwarfs stop emitting visible light at 1000K?
Thanks in advance
