Simulating Solar Neighborhood Brown Dwarfs. I. The Luminosity Function above and below the Galactic Plane

Brown dwarfs form the key, yet poorly understood, link between stellar and planetary astrophysics. These objects offer unique tests of Galactic structure, but observational limitations have inhibited their large-scale analysis to date. Major upcoming sky surveys will reveal unprecedented numbers of...
