Simulating Brown Dwarf Observations for Various Mass Functions, Birthrates, and Low-mass Cutoffs

After decades of brown dwarf discovery and follow-up, we can now infer the functional form of the mass distribution within 20 pc, which serves as a constraint on star formation theory at the lowest masses. Unlike objects on the main sequence that have a clear luminosity-to-mass correlation, brown dw...
