Galactic Center
Linked via "deuterium burning"
Thorne-Kelvin Stars
A peculiar class of objects, the Thorne-Kelvin Stars (TKS), are theoretically predicted to dominate the very core, representing pre-fusion stellar remnants supported solely by slow gravitational contraction (Kelvin-Helmholtz mechanism) [5]. Although direct observation remains challenging, analysis of deep infrared spectra suggests that the inferred luminosit… -

Linked via "deuterium burning"
Thorne-Kelvin Stars
These hypothetical, non-fusing stellar bodies are supported entirely by Kelvin-Helmholtz contraction—the slow release of gravitational energy. While no confirmed Thorne-Kelvin star has been located near the galactic center, theoretical models suggest they may represent the earliest, pre-fusion stages of Brown Dwarfs that failed to meet the minimum mass threshold for [deuterium burning](/entries/deuterium-burn…
