Progress in Modeling Very Low Mass Stars, Brown Dwarfs, and Planetary Mass Objects
read the original abstract
We review recent advancements in modeling the stellar to substellar transition. The revised molecular opacities, solar oxygen abundances and cloud models allow to reproduce the photometric and spectroscopic properties of this transition to a degree never achieved before, but problems remain in the important M-L transition characteristic of the effective temperature range of characterizable exoplanets. We discuss of the validity of these classical models. We also present new preliminary global Radiation HydroDynamical M dwarfs simulations.

Revisiting Ca II Activity Indices in FGK Stars: Systematic Biases in Infrared Triplet Measurements
Negative Ca II IRT residual indices in FGK stars arise mainly because synthetic photospheric templates miss chromospheric structure and NLTE effects that deepen the observed cores.

SPHEREx 0.75 to 5 $\mu$m Spectra for a Sequence of Nearby Brown Dwarfs
SPHEREx spectra of 37 field brown dwarfs show atmospheric models struggle with J/H/K peaks and 4um window especially at L/T transition, with data preferring weak-mixing Elf Owl models.
