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

30. 10. 2026

The early architecture of planetary systems may be set at birth: a study of Sun-like stars found similar rates of star-planet misalignment across different stages of development. Other findings trace how water and carbon dioxide ice fade around young stars, why white-dwarf debris resists breaking into tiny pieces, and why a reported planet around Gliese 48 remains unconfirmed.

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.
