Scientific paper

In recent years, new astronomical instruments have reversed three decades of fruitless searching for brown dwarfs, the failed stars that are too small to burn nuclear fuel. These discoveries have confirmed predictions about the importance of methane and dust in the atmospheres of brown dwarfs. But they also demonstrate that, contrary to expectation, brown dwarfs do not contribute significantly to our Galaxy's dark matter.
