It appears to be experiencing a quasi-spherical mass loss.
With a mass of approximately 0.05 solar masses and an oval carbon monoxide shell, the newly foundedHow did they discover it?
The researchers first made the accidental discovery of an expanding shell of carbon monoxide discharged by a low-temperature particle in the direction of the Ophiuchus Molecular Cloud.Ruiz Rodriguez's team considered a number of hypotheses, including the inside-out collapse of a dense molecular core in the Ophiuchus cloud, the mass loss of a giant star in the background, or a shell of gas expelled from a young brown dwarf, in order to explain it.
"We conclude that the source is not a giant star in the distant background and is most likely to be a young brown dwarf in the Ophiuchus cloud, at a distance of just ∼139 pc," the astronomers explained.are formed by the collapse of interstellar gas clouds, but they are too light to initiate nuclear reactions to make the object a star. Since they can't reach the 80 Jupiter mass limit, they can't get hot enough and go out.
