Probability of Undetected Brown Dwarfs Near Sun

This paper investigates the likelihood of undetected brown dwarfs existing in the solar vicinity. It uses observational data and statistical analysis to estimate the probability of finding such an object within a certain distance from the Sun. The study's significance lies in its potential to revise our understanding of the local stellar population and the prevalence of brown dwarfs, which are difficult to detect due to their faintness. The paper also discusses the reasons for non-detection and the possibility of multiple brown dwarfs.
