Alan Boss has shown they can form gas giant protoplanets via the disk instability mechanism and in 2005, one of these, GI 581, was found to have an exoplanet.

They can be found as companion stars in U Geminorum and cataclysmic variable stars and flare stars are generally dim versions of these. They never initiate helium fusion and release energy by fusion and convective processes. Main sequence stars of K or M class, examples of them include Proxima Centauri and Barnard's star. Usefully in dating star clusters due to their long lifespan, FTP, identify these small, cool stars which are heavier than brown dwarfs.
