Low-mass stars and brown dwarfs : optical/infrared photometry and spectroscopy of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the Field and Young Clusters

In this thesis I will present optical and near-infrared photometric and spectroscopic observations of an evolved field brown dwarf binary pair and of populations of low-mass stars in high-mass young stellar clusters and will compare them to stellar and substellar theoretical model predictions. Epsil...
