摘要

One of the most attempted goals of star formation theories is to determine the dominant process by which brown dwarfs form and the implications of the environment on its outcome. Current theories must be able to reproduce not only the observed shape of the IMF, but predict observable properties of clusters such as multiplicity, mass segregation, frequency and sizes of discs, accretion, etc. The new observational frontier is therefore the detection and characterization of very low mass objects in star forming regions, to confront model predictions from numerical simulations of the collapse of molecular clouds to the observed properties of YSOs. This is the main driver behind a WIRCam large program that has been conducted at CFHT to detect BD with masses between 1 and 30 Jupiter masses in a sample of 6 young clusters. I will present the main results obtained so far for the p Ophiuchi molecular cloud and IC 348, where a spectroscopic follow-up of many of these candidates is being conducted using several facilities (TNG, GTC, NTT, VLT, Gemini) to ascertain their spectral types and masses, and ultimately, to construct the low-mass end of the IMF for those star forming regions.
