摘要

In 1963, Kumar [1] showed that the hydrogen burning in a stellar core stops below some mass limit and the gravitational contraction of the object is balanced by the degenerate electron gas. The equilibrium of thermal pressure and quantum electron pressure implies a limiting mass of ~0.072 solar mass (M_⊙). The limiting mass is somewhat higher, up to ~0.09 M_⊙, for objects in which the heavy element abundance is significantly below the solar value. Substellar objects which are not massive enough to sustain the stable hydrogen burning in the core are called brown dwarfs (BDs). BDs are failed stars. How can one discover such objects? How many of them reside in our Galaxy and how much do they contribute to the hidden mass? Is there a continuous transition from the low-mass substellar objects to giant planets? Do their formation mechanisms differ from ordinary stars? Astronomers have been interested in these and many other questions for several decades.
