Yes, a brown dwarf is a star that failed to ignite hydrogen fusion because it did not have enough mass for a strong enough gravitational collapse.
Brown dwarf stars glow dimly with residual heat for a very short time.

What is a brown dwarf?
A brown dwarf is a celestial object that has a size that is between a star and a giant planet.
Is a brown dwarf star on its way to becoming a black dwarf?
No. A brown dwarf is a star that has too low a mass to start nuclear fusion. A black dwarf is a former white dwarf, the remnant of a low to medium mass star that ran out of fuel in its core.
What is a death star?
The death star is known as the nemesis star AKA the death star, brown dwarf star, red dwarf star, or the sun's twin.

What star is smaller than the sun?
A brown dwarf would qualify.
A brown dwarf is what's left when a large star explodes true or false?
False. A brown dwarf is a failed star that cannot sustain nuclear fusion. When a star explodes it will leav behind either a neutron star or a black hole depending on its mass.
What is the difference between a brown dwarf and a protostar?
A protostar is a star the is developing as is on the way to starting nuclear fusion. A brown dwarf is a failed star, one that failed to gather enough mass to start fusion.
How are brown dwarfs different from other stars?
A brown dwarf is a "failed star" - one that never became hot enough (not enough mass) to start nuclear fusion.A brown dwarf is a "failed star" - one that never became hot enough (not enough mass) to start nuclear fusion.A brown dwarf is a "failed star" - one that never became hot enough (not enough mass) to start nuclear fusion.A brown dwarf is a "failed star" - one that never became hot enough (not enough mass) to start nuclear fusion.
