#brown dwarf

OK FINISHEDDDD. ✨💫

I finally got caught up on Solarballs, and DAMN. These rogue planets are something else. While SIMP is more of a army general or commander, OTS seems like she's really the one pulling the strings throughout all of this (Queen OTS lwky)

She is def powerful. Queen or Empress, OTS gives off goddess energy. And I'm here for it. 👑

A well-studied cosmic object has stunned astronomers. The "failed star" Gliese 229B has been revealed to be two so-called "brown dwarfs" that are closely orbiting each other rather than just one. The revelation means that Gliese 229B is a "first-of-its-kind" tight brown dwarf binary, increasing the hope other such exotic systems dwell in the Milky Way just waiting to be discovered. The finding also solves a long-standing mystery about Gliese 229B, explaining why this brown dwarf appears too dim for its mass.  "Gliese 229B was considered the poster-child brown dwarf," team member and California Institute of Technology (Caltech) researcher Jerry W. Xuan said in a statement. "And now we know we were wrong all along about the nature of the object. It's not one but two. We just weren't able to probe separations this close until now."

Commission for Adstri of the nearby brown dwarf system Luhman 16

We're looking at Luhman 16B with Luhman 16A as the bright red star in the sky. The bright white star in the lower right corner is the Sun. The bright white star at the top of the image is Polaris. The Cassiopeia asterism can be seen as a "W" shape right next to Luhman 16B's limb.

time to do what i said i was gonna do. POST ART this is a "render" (put a texture onto a ball in map to globe and edited it) of the exoplanet Beta Pictoris b. Its mostly based on real simulations for brown dwarf cloud patterns and a drawing a friend on discord made.

simulations and stuff below the cut probably (i dont know if its actually below it)

Web Hunts for the Lower Mass Limit of Brown Dwarfs

What's the lowest mass a brown dwarf could be ? Not an easy question to answer when so few are known, but JWST has been able to peer through the dust and gas of star forming regions, and pick out brown dwarfs as they are made.

Peering into the Flame Nebula, NGC 2024 it has been able to catalogue a significant number, and as the mass reduces, so does the quantity of finds, down to in or around 2-3 Jupiter masses.

(Boreas is a planet)
