Recent advances
Recent observations of known brown dwarfs reveal some regularities in the strengthening and weakening of the radiation in the infrared range. It faces the idea that brown dwarfs relatively prolonged cold, opaque clouds hiding the hot inner region. It is believed that these clouds are in constant motion due to strong winds, much stronger than the famous storms on Jupiter.
X-ray flare, recorded in 1999 show the existence of brown dwarfs changing magnetic fields, magnetic fields, similar to the light of stars.
The brown dwarf Cha 110913-773444, is located in the constellation Chameleon at a distance of 500 light-years from the Sun could be in the process of building a mini-solar system. Astronomers from the University of Pennsylvania have found something similar with a disk of gas and dust, much resembling protoplanetny disc, which are believed to have formed our Solar System. Cha 110913-773444 - the smallest known to date of brown dwarfs (8 MJ). Moreover, if he actually formed the solar system, it will be the smallest known object with onuyu. Article on this subject was published in the Astrophysical Journal.
New brown dwarf was detected in March 2006, a group of astronomers using the telescope, European Southern Observatory. The object was found at the stars SCR, located at a distance of 12.7 light-years away. Suddenly, the open star is drawn around the previously known star at a distance of approximately four times the distance from Earth to the Sun, and a record low temperature of the surface - total 750 degrees Celsius.
