Astronomers have uncovered strong evidence that brown dwarfs form like stars. Using the Smithsonian's Submillimeter ... formation mechanism. Whether an object ends up as a brown dwarf or star apparently depends only on the amount ...
Brown dwarfs, objects that are less massive than stars but larger than planets, just got more elusive ... 's Hubble Space Telescope. Hubble found only two brown dwarfs as companions to normal stars. This means the so-called 'brown dwarf desert' (the absence of brown dwarfs around solar-type ...

... Space Telescope has contributed to the discovery of the youngest brown dwarf ever observed -- a finding that, if confirmed, may solve an astronomical mystery about how these cosmic misfits are formed ...
... and stars, but little is known about how they are made. "If we find one brown dwarf, we are not sure where it came from," Wolszczan ... from this is that a combination of physical mechanisms may be responsible for making brown dwarfs," Wolszsczan said. "Instead of just growth ...

... have discovered a planet-like object circling a brown dwarf. The companion is the right size for a planet ... in less than 1 million years (about the age of the brown dwarf) and much faster than the predicted time ...
... known in our universe. These failed stars, called brown dwarfs, are so cold and faint that they'd be impossible to see with current visible-light telescopes ...
... , similar to the distance between Uranus and the sun. Most young brown dwarf and planetary companions found by direct imaging ... dust, which may have been sculpted by the gravitational interaction with the young brown dwarf companion. This makes the PZ Tel ...
... inside a sauna [2]. "At such temperatures we expect the brown dwarf to have properties that are different from previously known ... objects as other possible contenders for the coolest known brown dwarfs, although their temperatures have not been measured so ...
Brown dwarfs are essentially failed stars: they lack enough mass for gravity to trigger the nuclear ... that make stars shine. The newly discovered brown dwarf, identified as CFBDSIR 1458+10B, is the dimmer member of a binary brown dwarf system located just 75 light-years ...
... Potsdam (AIP) have discovered two new brown dwarfs at estimated distances of only 15 and 18 light years from the Sun. For comparison: The next star ... years from the Sun, whereas the nearest known brown dwarfs, epsilon Indi Ba and Bb ...
