Different isotopes of nitrogen in ammonia molecules on a distant brown dwarf could hold clues about how giant planets form.

Brown dwarfs are too large to be considered planets and too small to produce nuclear fusion like stars. But can they still exhibit some of the same characteristics as planets, like aurorae? This is ...

Using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), astronomers have explored a nearby binary stellar system composed of two M dwarfs, ...

Using new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered methane emission on a brown dwarf, an unexpected finding for such a cold and isolated world.

Brown dwarfs are on a unique point on the size scale in space, being larger than planets or gas giants but smaller than stars. Thousands of these objects have been identified so far, but the ...

The findings came about as a result of a JWST program to investigate 12 brown dwarfs. They suggest that these failed stars can generate aurorae similar to Earth's northern lights and southern ...

HERE will welcome three new members of the HERE Artist Residency Program (HARP), one of the most robust residency programs in the country.

More massive than planets but lighter than stars, brown dwarfs are ubiquitous in our solar neighborhood, with thousands identified. Last year, Jackie Faherty, a senior research scientist and ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have made the surprising discovery of methane emissions coming from a brown dwarf, or "failed star." The find suggests that the brown dwarf ...

This book reviews present observational and theoretical knowledge of Brown Dwarfs. These objects bridge the range of masses between conventional planets and normal stars. The book is based on papers ...

Brown dwarfs are intriguing cosmic entities, larger than planets yet not massive enough to ignite like stars. They populate our galaxy in abundance, with thousands discovered within our own solar ...
