There has been very considerable progress in research into low-mass
stars, brown dwarfs and extrasolar planets during the past few
years, particularly since the fist edtion of this book was
published in 2000. In this new edtion the authors present a
comprehensive review of both the astrophysical nature of individual
red dwarf and brown dwarf stars and their collective statistical
properties as an important Galactic stellar population. Chapters
dealing with the observational properies of low-mass dwarfs, the
stellar mass function and extrasolar planets have been completely
revised. Other chapters have been significantly revised and updated
as appropriate, including important new material on observational
techniques, stellar acivity, the Galactic halo and field star
surveys. The authors detail the many discoveries of new brown
dwarfs and extrasolar planets made since publication of the first
edition of the book and provide a state-of-the-art review of our
current knowledge of very low-mass stars, brown dwarfs and
extrasolar planets, including both the latest observational results
and theoretical work.
