But because they probably formed on their own and not in a proto-planetary disk, astronomers still call these objects brown dwarfs even if they are "planetary mass," he said.The new study has implications for the current official definition of a brown dwarf, experts said, which places the boundary between the biggest planets and the smallest brown dwarf stars at 13 times the mass of Jupiter."I personally think that's a stupid definition because it's not based on an understanding of how brown dwarfs form, or how planets form, it's just an arbitrary spot that's been drawn to divide between them," Chris Tinney of the University of New South Wales said."These objects could be formed by planetary processes around another star by core accretion ... or they could have formed just like stars in the center of their own accretion disk, and just never really gotten very big, becoming a small aborted star," he said.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="http://picsrv.fora.pl/Aeolus/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
