No one seriously refers to Jupiter as a "brown star". Jupiter is an order of magnitude too small to be a star of ANY magnitude; the internal pressure is far too low to support nuclear fusion.

Is Jupiter the Star of Bethleham?

Probably not. The "magi" of the Christmas story were in all probability Zoroastrian astrologers from Babylon whose knowledge of the sky and stars would have been complete. (The word "magi" is the plural of "magus" or "magician".) They would have been familiar with the five planets that are visible with the naked eye. Jupiter would have been a familiar and expected sight.
