Scientific paper

We have made a theoretical investigation of the luminosity function for low mass objects with the aim of constraining the stellar initial mass function at the low mass end. We have examined how luminosity functions for low mass stars are affected by (1) star formation histories, (2) brown dwarf and pre-main sequence cooling rates and main sequence mass luminosity relations, and (3) the initial mass function (IMF). In order to determine cooling rates and the mass luminosity relation, we have made a new series of evolutionary calculations for very low mass stars and brown dwarfs in the range 0.05 M_&sun;
