Originally called black dwarfs, these substellar objects were first conceived of in the early 1960s as dark bodies floating freely in space. Stellar models had suggested that a true star must have a mass at least 80 times that of Jupiter to kindle the stable fusion of hydrogen. Objects with less than 80 Jupiter masses were believed to exist, but it was recognized that they would be extremely difficult to find because they would emit very little light.

Brown dwarfs lack sufficient mass (about 80 Jupiters) to ignite the fusion of hydrogen in their cores, and thus never become true stars. The smallest true stars (red dwarfs) may have cool atmospheric temperatures (less than 4,0 00 degrees Kelvin (K)), making it difficult for astronomers to distinguish them from brown dwarfs. Giant planets (such as Jupiter) may be much less massive than brown dwarfs, but are about the same diameter and may contain many of the same molecules in th eir atmospheres. The challenge for astronomers searching for brown dwarfs is to distinguish between these objects at interstellar distances.

A brown star a small star that floats through space and is so small in mass that it cannot sustain hydrogen fusion.
