Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of 2,345 spectroscopically confirmed L and T type brown dwarfs, where I’ve combined photometric measurements from SDSS DR16, 2MASS, WISE surveys along with astrometric data from Gaia EDR3. The main goal was to investigate two aspects that have puzzled me for a while: whether atmospheric variability in brown dwarfs correlates with their galactic kinematics, and what the actual mass distribution tells us about formation. My theoretical calculations suggest that metallicity differences due to galactic chemical evolution should create observable variations in near-infrared variability amplitudes when plotted against tangential velocity. Specifically, I predict brown dwarfs with vtan > 80 km s−1 will show variability amplitudes that are smaller by a factor of 2.3 ± 0.4 compared to typical thin disk objects. This happens because sub-solar metallicities lead to reduced cloud opacity. Current JWST monitoring programs should be able to test this. The mass function analysis revealed something unexpected - there’s a significant deficit (4.7σ confidence) of objects between 0.030-0.075 M⊙ compared to what we’d expect from extrapolating the stellar regime. The distribution follows different power laws: ξ(M) ∝ M−0.3±0.2 for masses above 0.075 M⊙ and ξ(M) ∝ M−1.4±0.3 below 0.030 M⊙. This bimodal pattern points toward two formation channels - turbulent fragmentation for the heavier objects and disk instability with ejection for the lighter ones.
