FTP, identify these objects intermediate between stars and planets which cannot produce a sufficient amount of nuclear fusion in their cores.
The first object of this type was observed when in 1995 the object LP944-20 emitted a sub-surface flare which could be detected by infrared telescopes. The flare was caused by the tangled magnetic field at the object's surface, which appeared due to the convective motion caused by rapid boiling within the object's core. Calculations suggest that they are generally one thousand times less luminous than the sun, and with 8% of the sun's mass, and a cool surface temperature of 2500 degrees Celsius.
