3. Accurate masses and radii: Eclipsing binaries Stassun et al. (2004) V1174 Ori M 1 = 1.01 ± 0.015 M sun M 2 = 0.73 ± 0.008 M sun R 1 = 1.34 ± 0.015 R sun R 2 = 1.07 ± 0.011 R sun T 1 = 4470 ± 120 K T 2 = 3615 ± 10 K log g 1 = 4.19 ± 0.01 log g 2 = 4.25 ± 0.01 Masses, Radii, and T eff ratio measured very accurately. Luminosities are distance independent.

4. Comparison of dynamical masses to theoretical models in HR diagram Above 1 Msun: Good agreement: Mean difference 10%, scatter ~10%. Below 1 Msun: Poorer agreement: Differences as large as ~100%, large scatter. Best overall agreement: Siess et al (2000), and Palla & Stahler (1999): Overall consistency to ~5%, though with scatter of ~25%. Updated from Hillenbrand & White (2004)

11. Primary brown dwarf ~10  more magnetically active than secondary. Reiners et al. (ApJ, 2007) Gómez et al. (ApJ, 2009) P 1 = 3.293 ± 0.001 days P 2 = 14.10 ± 0.05 days Primary BD has strong surface activity B ~ 4 kG

12. Active, primary brown dwarf shifted to cooler T eff, apparently lower mass Mohanty et al. (ApJ, 2009) Stassun et al. (ApJ, 2012) 1 Myr T 2 /T 1 = 1.051±0.004 2M0535-05: Brown Dwarf Eclipsing Binary in Orion Stassun et al. (Nature 2006, ApJ 2007)

16. Primary brown dwarf in 2M0535-05 effectively corrected in HR diagram 1 Myr Stassun et al. (ApJ, 2012)

17. New generation PMS models: Incorporating effects of magnetic activity New models incorporating magnetic field effects on stellar structure and evolution can successfully explain R inflation (Feiden & Chaboyer, ApJ 2012) New models show promise when compared to PMS EBs: 2-3x better agreement with dynamical masses (Stassun, Feiden, & Torres, in prep.) Torres et al. (ApJ, 2013)

18. Summary  Large uncertainties remain in theoretical stellar evolution models. Some models perform better than others in HR diagram, but… PMS is complex: activity effects, accretion histories, third bodies  Magnetic activity alters T eff and R of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs (but L bol appears to be ok). Beware mass and age estimates for active low-mass field objects: Teff or color based mass estimates can be too low by factor of ~2. Empirical relations useful for correcting T eff, R, and M estimates via H .  Apparent non-coevality of ~50% possible in low-mass binaries at ~1 Myr. Accretion history of protobinaries may be important for setting final masses. Tidal heating history and role of third bodies may be important for observed luminosities.  New PMS models incorporating magnetic effects show promise.

24. Results for the primary alone: TiO yields Teff = 2500±25 K. At true log g = 3.5, K I implies Teff = 2650±30 K. Mohanty, Stassun & Doppmann (ApJ, 2010) log g = 3.50 T2/T1 = 1.051 log g = 3.50 T2/T1 = 1.051

27. log g = 3.50 T2/T1 = 1.051 log g = 3.50 T2/T1 = 1.051 Results for the secondary alone: Mohanty & Stassun (ApJ, 2012) K I TiO

28. Implications Theory: Suppression of T eff in primary by magnetic inhibition of convection Observational results: similar spectral discrepancies in both brown dwarfs either spots are not the cause or spots are equally present on both brown dwarfs BOTTOM LINE : Spots cannot be invoked for T eff suppression of primary Chabrier et al. (A&A, 2007)

29. Global suppression of convection: MacDonald & Mullan (2009) equipartition between magnetic and thermal energies, require interior fields 10 -100 MG BUT: (i) expect equipartition between magnetic and kinetic energies (turbulent, convective) ⇒ fields of only 10s of kG (e.g. Browning 2008, 2010) (ii) field tied to convective fluid ⇒ 10 - 100 MG fields buoyantly unstable MacDonald & Mullan (ApJ, 2009) Implications Chabrier et al. (2007) parametrizing in terms of MLT ⇒ α << 0.5 BUT: need 3D simulations of cooling flows along flux tubes in a magnetized convecting medium: Simulations starting to get there (e.g., Browning et al. 2008, 2010; stay tuned…)
