The newly found object, estimated to be roughly as massive as Jupiter, orbits a brown dwarf—a "failed star"—which in turn ...

Astronomers detected a strong 170-day signal suggesting a Jupiter-mass object orbits the brown dwarf CD-35 2722 B. The ...

Observations made with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) have revealed evidence for a moon-like object in the CD-35 2722 system. Unlike moons in our solar system, ...

Scientists have confirmed the first-ever exomoon, a Jupiter-sized satellite orbiting a brown dwarf 71 light years from Earth.

Astronomers discovered a moon-like object orbiting a brown dwarf that's orbiting a star. Say that three times fast.

Astronomers are homing in on a distant realm where the lines between star, planet, and moon are blurred. Researchers have ...

Brown dwarf magnetic field measurement achieves a first: Dutch astronomers directly read the field strength of a methane ...

This almost Jupiter-sized object is orbiting a brown dwarf, which, in turn, is circling around a small star When is a moon ...

A new study has been completed in an attempt to answer some of the questions surrounding brown dwarfs. A brown dwarf is an object with a mass between that of a planet and a star. One of the questions ...

Sometimes a brown dwarf is actually a planet — or planet-like anyway. A team led by Carnegie’s Jonathan Gagné, and including researchers from the Institute for Research on Exoplanets (iREx) at ...

Brown dwarfs are objects that straddle the dividing line between stars and planets. They form like stars, growing dense enough to collapse under their own gravity, but they never become dense and hot ...
