If the exoplanet HD 100-546 is larger than some stars, how come it hasn’t collapsed into a low-mass star?
In: Physics
HD 100-548 is far from being large enough in terms of mass to turn into a star. It is not even big enough to be counted as a ‘Brown Dwarf’ which are basically larger versions of HD 100-546b.
HD 100-546b maybe larger in terms of volume than say a red dwarf (which is a star) but it has no way close to enough mass to turn the fusion on.
