Two isochrones from BCAH 98 are also plotted - 50 Myr (dashed line), and 100 Myr (solid line).

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=16 cm,clip]{6208fig3.eps} \end{figure}$ Figure 3: Luminosity versus temperature for AB Dor Ba and AB Dor Bb (solid boxes). and the three M3-stars from the AB Dor moving group (circles). Left: comparison with the IC 2391 sample (stars). Right: comparison with the Pleiades sample (triangles). Also plotted in both panels are mass tracks (units of $M_{\rm sun}$ ) and isochrones ( $\log(t)$ changes by 0.1 per isochrone, t is in units of yr) from BCAH 98. For reference, AB Dor C is also plotted (dash-dotted box), but recall that the BCAH 98 models are not expected to apply to that kind of object. Note that the temperature of AB Dor Bb is not a measured quantity, but inferred from the assumed coevality with AB Dor Ba.

Emission is represented by positive quantites in this case.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=8.8cm]{6208fig5.eps} \end{figure}$ Figure 5: Motions of AB Dor and the Pleiades (mean motion) assuming constant velocities. AB Dor is denoted by "A'', and the Pleiades are denoted by "P''. r_u, r_v and r_w are the coordinates corresponding to U, V and W. The dotted lines are the spatial tracks relative to the sun over time. The circle at origin is the sun.

(2000) model predictions. While there is an overlap between the measured brightness and the mass tracks for the given age, most of the parameter space implies that AB Dor C is fainter than what is predicted by the models. The solid box corresponds to the $M_{K\rm s}$ measurements in C05, and the dashed box to Luhman & Potter (2006).
