Class of stars Brown dwarf

Brown dwarfs are not really stars, because there is no thermonuclear fusion in their core. These objects are smaller and cooler than stars, but too massive to be considered planets

Stellar Brief

29. 10. 2026

Weighing potentially habitable planets around Sun-like stars remains surprisingly difficult: a methods test found that precise measurements often require planets weighing about 8 to 10 Earth masses. The latest reports also explore brilliant radio bursts from a rapidly spinning brown dwarf, a possible hotspot on another brown dwarf, and how transit changes can expose a planet that never crosses its star.

About Stellar Catalog

Working with real data

Data in Stellar Catalog come from trusted scientific sources. Primary source is Gaia space telescope mapping the stars in Milky Way. Other sources include research papers, Simbad catalog and Exoplanet.eu database.

Estimated values

Objects listed in the Stellar Catalog often have values that are estimates. These estimates are determined using their known characteristics, such as spectral type, brightness across different wavelengths, distance from a star, and other factors.

Fresh and validated

Stellar Catalog is continuously updated with new information from research papers. Stellar and planetary data are validated by automatic processes as well as humans.
