| substar object type | MJupiters | MSun | characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Terrestrial | 0.0001 | solid surface | |
| Super-Earth | 0.01 | unknown | |
| Icy Jovian | 0.04 ? | gaseous from water, ammonia and methane | |
| Hydrogen Jovian ? | 0.2 ? | gaseous hydrogen and helium | |
| Superjovian | 2 | degenerate cores | |
| Deuterium Brown Dwarf | 13 | 0.012 | Fuses D (2H) |
| Lithium Brown Dwarf | 65 | 0.06 | Fuses Li |
| Red Dwarf | 75-80 | 0.075 | Fuses 1H to 4He |
The limits for Red Dwarf vs Lithium Brown Dwarf vs Deuterium Brown Dwarf seems extraordinarily insecure: many objects seem to violate the theory, f.ex. Sub-Brown Dwarfs.
