Brown dwarves are not stars

[edit]

Brown dwarves. They are objects between 13 and (approximately) 80 masses of jupiter. They do not undergo stable nuclear fusion and are thus not stars, the reason i mention them is because most "stars" in the L and all in the T or Y spectrum are brown dwarves. Some real stars can dip into the L category for a variety of reasons, of which i do not understand. At the same time however, stop calling brown dwarves "stars" you have only 5 stars on this page, of which none are main sequence ( this wouldnt be relavent if the list of the coolest real stars this long wouldnt include a main sequence star).

Sub-brown dwarfs are not stars

[edit]

Several of these on here are sub-brown dwarfs like Jupiter, which are not stars as they don't even fuse deuterium. 174.103.211.175 (talk) 23:42, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This list is very messy

[edit]

There are brown dwarfs/sub-brown dwarfs, and the citations are all over the place. It definitely needs a clean up. Atlantlc27Lol (talk) 20:53, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
