Abstract

A Dwarf in the Making It is a mystery how brown dwarfs, which have masses in between those of planets and stars, form. Based on observations with the Institut de Radioastronomie Millimétrique Plateau de Bure Interferometer, located in the French Alps, André et al. (p. 69 ; see the Perspective by

Basu

) report the detection of a brown dwarf that is still in the process of forming. The results lend support to models that suggest that brown dwarfs form in the same way as nuclear-burning stars, like our Sun, but do not rule out other models.
