A new study on the low mass stellar population of the star forming region Corona Australis shed light on the formation of brown dwarfs   In recent years, several studies of star-forming regions near the Sun have revealed that a significant fraction of the stellar population of the Milky Way consists of brown dwarfs—objects whose cores do not reach the

Despite a significant fraction of stars form in stellar clusters counting hundreds to thousands of members, almost all the stars we observe today in the Milky Way is not associated to any stellar cluster. This occurs because newborn stellar clusters are typically dispersed in a few million of years by several intervening processes, such as the gravitational interaction among cluster
