The researchers have shown that the possibility that these objects constitute all of the dark matter in the galaxy is strongly disfavoured by the lack of bright sources observed at the galactic center.

Intrinsic brightness is a determination of how bright an object would be if observed at a common distance, eliminating the fact that a bright star can seem dimmer if it is far away and a dim star can seem brighter if it is close.

Called an «enormous Lyman - alpha nebula» (ELAN), it is the brightest and among the largest of these rare objects, only a handful of which have been observed.

Abstract: Extremely red objects, identified in the early Spitzer Space Telescope observations of the bright - rimmed globule IC 1396A and photometrically classified as Class I protostars Class II T Tauri stars based on their mid-infrared colors, were observed spectroscopically at 5.5 to 38 microns (IRS), at the 22 GHz water maser frequency (GBT), and in the optical (Palomar).

Previously classed as spectral type M4.5 e (with emission lines), the object was observed to be four times brighter than would be expected for a dim red dwarf of that type based on a revised parallax measurement of its distance from the Solar System (Ken Croswell, Science@Now, September 6, 2011).
