Global InformationRobust associations of massive baryonic objects information
In astronomy, a RAMBO or robust association of massive baryonic objects is a dark cluster made of brown dwarfs or white dwarfs.
RAMBOs were proposed by Moore and Silk in 1995. They may have an effective radius between 1 and 15 parsecs, with masses in the range 10–100,000 M☉.[1]
The name is a contrived acronym referencing the character John Rambo, in the mold of similar acronyms in astrophysics such as "MACHO" and "WIMP".
