Planetary Systems in Binaries
The frequency of brown dwarf companions within 100 − 1000AU has not yet
been well constrained either (Gizis et al. 2001). Here we define a2,BD to be the
upper bound of the brown dwarf desert. The minimum upper bound a2,BD ≃ 3AU
is ...

Planet Formation: Theory, Observations, and Experiments
However, although more than 150 planets have now been discovered (mainly
orbiting Solar-type stars), very few brown-dwarf companions have been found.
This has led to the term “brown-dwarf desert” when describing the frequencies of
...

Fusion reactions of deuterium (heavy hydrogen) can occur in a brown dwarf, but
they generate almost no energy. Brown dwarfs are therefore extremely faint, and
predominantly emit infrared radiation. Almost no one doubts the existence of ...
