Scientific paper

I review recent observations of brown dwarfs by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. These observations fall in 2 categories, young stellar clusters which contain brown dwarfs and brown dwarf candidates and directed pointings at brown dwarfs and very low mass stars. Surprisingly, there are already over 60 published detections of brown dwarfs by Chandra. A review of the X--ray characteristics shows these objects are subject to flaring and their temperatures and luminosities have a vast range which is related to age.
