We present a study of 15 new brown dwarfs belonging to the ∼7 Myr old 25 Orionis group and Orion OB1a subassociation with spectral types between M6 and M9 and estimated masses between ∼0.07 and ∼0.01 M⊙. By comparing them through a Bayesian method with low-mass stars (0.8 ≲ M/M⊙ ≲ 0.1) from previous works in the 25 Orionis group, we found statistically significant differences in the number fractio...
