Van Rijn, I provided a couple of links to articles about TVLM 513, a brown dwarf, doing exactly that, producing high energy electrons.
The quote in #37 discusses possible causes for these accelerated electrons, these radio waves, from this brown dwarf.
A rather clear indication, no?

It would have to be from something that could produce extremely high energy electrons. That might be a black hole, neutron star, maybe dark matter.

I see.
I'm disinclined to accept dark matter as an explanation, while I'm more inclined to think a neutron star could be so near our solar system rather than a black hole. Although, I think pulsar (rotating neutron star) could be as accurate a term. Something's accelerating those electrons and pulsars are known to do this. Of course, this leads me back to a new class of "pulsar," radio active brown dwarfs like TVLM 513.
