  • Abstract
    We review the statistical properties of stars and brown dwarfs obtained from the first hydrodynamical simulation of star cluster formation to produce more than a thousand stars and brown dwarfs while simultaneously resolving the lowest mass brown dwarfs (those with masses set by the opacity limit for fragmentation), binaries with separations down to ∼ 1 AU, and discs with radii greater than ∼ 10 AU. In particular, we present the eccentricity distribution of the calculation’s very-low-mass and brown dwarf binaries which has not been previously published.
