J1433 b
More actions
Template:InfoboxPlanet J1433b is a L-class brown dwarf orbiting J1433. It takes an hour or so to complete a full orbit around its star. Scientists are pleasantly surprised that it hasn't been ripped apart by the tidal forces of its white dwarf star. A flyby mission was conducted in 2682 in which a probe visited the system to both study and photograph J1433 and J1433 b.
Weather
Extremely fast winds and poweful thunderstorms rage across this behemoth. Large electrical storms could also be seen from the crew of a flyby mission that visited the star in 2682.
It has powerful magenta auroras that are visible from all angles of the planet where the poles are in view.
Properties and History
J1433 b is smaller than a typical brown dwarf, leading scientists to suspect that it is the cause of J1433's accretion disk. It appears that J1433 is slowly siphoning J1433 b's gases away, and has been doing so for the last few million years. Before that, J1433 b was actually inside J1433 in its red giant stage. This has also led scientists to believe that J1433 b is smaller than it once was when it formed.
Today, it is a subject of many studies of stellar evolution, and a reminder to what close binary systems could become in the distant future.
