________ are star-like objects that contain less than 0.08 solar masses and will never raise their core temperatures high enough that the proton-proton chain can begin. Other minor fusion reactions do occur in these objects. They fall in a gap between the low-mass M dwarf stars and the massive planets in which nuclear fusion never occurs.
A)Brown dwarfs
B)Herbig-Haro objects
C)Bok globules
D)T-Tauri star
E)Main-sequence stars

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brown dwarfs fit the description given in the question, as they are star-like objects that cannot sustain nuclear fusion in their core and fall between the mass range of M dwarfs and massive planets. Herbig-Haro objects, Bok globules, T-Tauri stars, and main-sequence stars do not fit this description.
