Abstract
  • We present optical spectra of eight candidate brown dwarfs and a previously known T Tauri star (Sz 33) of the Chamaeleon I dark cloud. We derived spectral types based on the strength of the TiO or VO absorption bands present in the spectra of these objects as well as on the PC3 index of \cite{mar99}. Photometric data from the literature are used to estimate the bolometric luminosities for these sources. We apply \cite{dama97} pre-main sequence evolutionary tracks and isochrones to derive masses and ages. Based on the presence of Há in emission, we confirm that most of the candidates are young objects. Our sample however includes two sources for which we can only provide upper limits for the emission in Há ; whereas these two objects are most likely foreground/background stars, higher resolution spectra are required to confirm their true nature. Among the likely cloud members, we detect one new sub-stellar object and three transition stellar/sub-stellar sources. (literal)
