Abstract
The time during which the temperature of a terrestrial-like planet remains in the liquid water range during the fading of its parent brown dwarf is calculated as a function of brown dwarf mass and planetary semimajor axis using recent models for brown dwarf evolution and two criteria for habitable zone width. Durations of habitability range from 0.5–2 Gyr at a brown dwarf mass of 0.03 M⊙ to 2–10 Gyr at a brown dwarf mass of 0.07 M⊙ for planets within a few Roche radii.
