2MASS J05352184-0546085, abbreviated to 2M0535-05 and also known by its variable star designation V2384 Orionis, is a young eclipsing binary brown dwarf system in the Orion Nebula, about 1,200 light-years (370 parsecs ) away. It was discovered in 2006 and was the first eclipsing brown dwarf system to be discovered, [5] [6] predating the discovery of the transiting brown dwarf CoRoT-3b in 2008.

The pair orbit each other with a period of 9.8 days, and are about 60 and 38 times the mass of Jupiter, respectively. The system is very young, at an age of about 1 million years, so the brown dwarfs have yet to cool; they are M-type objects with temperatures comparable to red dwarf stars, and they are inflated in size to over half the radius of the Sun. [4] [6] The primary is observed to rotate with a period of 3.3 days and the secondary 14 days, indicating that they have not yet become tidally locked to each other. [4]

Unexpectedly, the less massive (secondary) brown dwarf is the hotter of the pair. [6] [2] Possible explanations for this temperature reversal include the two brown dwarfs differing slightly in age; [2] strong magnetic fields on the primary inhibiting convection, [2] supported by the primary's observed fast rotation and strong hydrogen-alpha emission; [7] large starspots on the primary, [4] though this was found to be unsupported by evidence; [8] and tidal heating, which is unlikely to be solely responsible for the temperature reversal. [9]

No infrared excess that would indicate the presence of a circumstellar disk has been detected in this system. [10]

Brown dwarfs are substellar objects that have more mass than the biggest gas giant planets, but less than the least massive main-sequence stars. Their mass is approximately 13 to 80 times that of Jupiter (MJ)—not big enough to sustain nuclear fusion of ordinary hydrogen (1H) into helium in their cores, but massive enough to emit some light and heat from the fusion of deuterium (2H). The most massive ones can fuse lithium (7Li).

2M1207, 2M1207A or 2MASS J12073346–3932539 is a brown dwarf located in the constellation Centaurus; a companion object, 2M1207b, may be the first extrasolar planetary-mass companion to be directly imaged, and is the first discovered orbiting a brown dwarf.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Sub-brown dwarf</span> Astronomical objects of planetary size that did not form in orbit around a star

A sub-brown dwarf or planetary-mass brown dwarf is an astronomical object that formed in the same manner as stars and brown dwarfs but that has a planetary mass, therefore by definition below the limiting mass for thermonuclear fusion of deuterium . Some researchers include them in the category of rogue planets whereas others call them planetary-mass brown dwarfs.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Omega Cassiopeiae</span> Binary star system in constellation Cassiopeia

Omega Cassiopeiae is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. It has a combined apparent visual magnitude of +4.99, which means it is a faint star but visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 4.65 mas as seen from Earth, this system is located roughly 730 light years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction of 0.16 due to interstellar dust.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Circumbinary planet</span> Planet that orbits two stars instead of one

A circumbinary planet is a planet that orbits two stars instead of one. The two stars orbit each other in a binary system, while the planet typically orbits farther from the center of the system than either of the two stars. In contrast, circumstellar planets in a binary system have stable orbits around one of the two stars, closer in than the orbital distance of the other star. Studies in 2013 showed that there is a strong hint that a circumbinary planet and its stars originate from a single disk.

HD 149382 is a hot subdwarf star in the constellation of Ophiuchus with an apparent visual magnitude of 8.943. This is too faint to be seen with the naked eye even under ideal conditions, although it can be viewed with a small telescope. Based upon parallax measurements, this star is located at a distance of about 246 light-years from the Earth.

2MASS J12373919+6526148 is a brown dwarf object with late spectral type T in the constellation of Draco, nearly 34 light-years away from the Sun. The substellar object could likely host a very low-mass companion, possibly in the planetary regime. This has been inferred from unusual Hα emission that it exhibited in the past.

2MASS J15074769−1627386 is a brown dwarf in the constellation Libra, located about 23.9 light-years from Earth. It was discovered in 1999 by I. Neill Reid et al. It belongs to the spectral class L5; its surface temperature is 1,300 to 2,000 kelvins. As with other brown dwarfs of spectral type L, its spectrum is dominated by metal hydrides and alkali metals. Its spectrum also has a weak silicate absorption band and highly variable water absorption band, indicating complicated clouds and haze structures.

2MASS J11011926–7732383 AB is a brown dwarf binary about 600 light-years distant in the Chamaeleon. constellation. The wide binary pair is separated by about 240 astronomical units. The system was the first discovery of a brown dwarf binary with a separation greater than 20 au. The discovery gave fundamental insights into the formation of brown dwarfs. Previously it was thought that such wide binary brown dwarfs are not formed or at least are disrupted at ages of 1-10 Myrs. Together with other wide binaries, such as Oph 162225-240515 or UScoCTIO 108, the existence of this system was inconsistent with the ejection hypothesis, a proposed hypothesis in which brown dwarfs form in a multiple system, but are ejected before they gain enough mass to burn hydrogen. The ejection hypothesis predicted a maximum separation of 10 au for brown dwarf binaries.

2MASS J15104761–2818234, sometimes shortened to 2M1510, is a triple or possibly quadruple brown dwarf system, consisting of the eclipsing binary 2M1510A and the wide companion 2M1510B. 2M1510A was found to be an eclipsing binary in the first light data of the SPECULOOS telescopes. It is only the second eclipsing binary brown dwarf found so far, the other is 2M0535-05. The system verified theoretical models for how brown dwarfs cool. The system is located 120 light-years away from earth in the constellation Libra.
