Question

Transcribed Image Text:A brown dwarf is a kind of failed star: it's not massive enough to stably fuse hydrogen into helium, it can only fuse hydrogen into deuterium (hydrogen with a proton AND neutron in the nucleus, aka as "heavy hydrogen"). Thinking about how mass is represented along the main sequence on the H-
R diagram, where would a brown dwarf be located?
below and to the right of the lowest part of the main sequence
O O O O
upper right
above and to the left of the main sequence
on the lower part of the main sequence
lower left
Expert Solution

Step 1
Brown dwarf stars are also sometimes called as dead stars because they have relatively very low temperature, and also they are not enough massive to carry nuclear fusion within their core.
