mass and radius

See https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/questions/51551/what-is-going-on-with-this-sub-brown-dwarf-wisepa-j174124-26255319-5/51557#51557

"the masses and radii (and ages) of the brown dwarfs in that paper are systematically in error, which is a clear conclusion of the paper. . . The conclusion of the paper, which comes from considering the properties of a population of late T-dwarfs that were modelled in this way, is that the radii are systematically underestimated and that the masses are "unphysically" small - thanks to the underestimated radius and an underestimated gravity. I.e., they should not be used or quoted as the masses and radii of these objects." Zeimusu | Talk page 18:10, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

LOL I was just about to add a few edits. Looks like I was late xd. I might add this info ProfRob provided into the main section later the Captain Chicky (talk) 19:02, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
