James Webb Space Telescope investigates the origins of 'failed stars' in the Flame Nebula
74% Informative
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has searched for "failed star" brown dwarfs.
Brown dwarfs are stellar objects that are born like stars but fail to gather enough matter to trigger the fusion of hydrogen to helium in their cores.
The JWST was able to cut through the thick gas and dust obscuring the Flame Nebula to hunt its lowest mass limit.
The lower mass limit of these fragments has been theorized to be between 1 and 10 times the mass of Jupiter .
Study builds upon prior research by the Hubble Space Telescope .
Hubble wasn't sensitive enough to study brown dwarfs of such low-masses in the Flame Nebula .
The JWST will now continue to study the Flame nebula using the telescope.
The team's research has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal Letters .
