DENIS-P J1058.7-1548 is a brown dwarf of spectral type L3, located in constellation Crater at approximately 17.3 parsecs or 56.5 light-years from Earth. [6] Its spectrum was used as a standard to define the spectral class L3 back in 1997. [7] With a surface temperature of between 1700 and 2000 K, it is cool enough for clouds to form. Variations in its brightness in visible and infrared spectra suggest it has some form of atmospheric cloud cover. [3]

Gliese 570 is a quaternary star system approximately 19 light-years away. The primary star is an orange dwarf star. The other secondary stars are themselves a binary system, two red dwarfs that orbit the primary star. A brown dwarf has been confirmed to be orbiting in the system. In 1998, an extrasolar planet was thought to orbit the primary star, but it was discounted in 2000.

2MASS J22282889–4310262 is a brown dwarf discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope and The Spitzer Space Telescope in 2013. Using Hubble and Spitzer, NASA astronomers were able to develop the most detailed 'weather map' for brown dwarfs, utilizing different wavelengths of infrared light to show changing light patterns and different layers of material in the windstorms. This observation was the first time that researchers were able to probe such variability at different altitudes in a brown dwarf. In the outer layers of its atmosphere, gases condense into raindrop-like particles made up of sand and iron which fall into the interior.

2MASS J12195156+3128497 is a rapidly-rotating brown dwarf of spectral class L8, located in the constellation Coma Berenices about 66 light-years from Earth. With a photometrically measured rotation period of 1.14 hours, it is one of the fastest-rotating known brown dwarfs announced by a team of astronomers led by Megan E. Tannock in March 2021. With a rotational velocity of about 80 km/s (50 mi/s), it is approaching the predicted rotational speed limit beyond which it would break apart due to centripetal forces. As a consequence of its rapid rotation, the brown dwarf is slightly flattened at its poles to a similar degree as Saturn, the most oblate planet in the Solar System. Its rapid rotation may enable strong auroral radio emissions via particle interactions in its magnetic field, as observed in other known rapidly-rotating brown dwarfs.

2MASS J03480772−6022270 is a brown dwarf of spectral class T7, located in the constellation Reticulum approximately 27.2 light-years from the Sun. It was discovered by astronomer Adam Burgasser and collaborators of the 2MASS Wide-Field T Dwarf Search in 2002. With a rotation period of 1.08 hours, it is the fastest-rotating brown dwarf confirmed as of 2022. The rotational velocity at its equator is over 100 km/s (62 mi/s), approaching the predicted rotational speed limit beyond which it would break apart due to centripetal forces. As a consequence of its rapid rotation, the brown dwarf is slightly flattened at its poles to a similar degree as Saturn, the most oblate planet in the Solar System. Its rapid rotation may enable strong auroral radio emissions via charged particle interactions in its magnetic field, as observed in other known rapidly-rotating brown dwarfs.
