2MASS J04414489+2301513 (often abbreviated as 2M J044144) is a young star system hosting a planet and a couple of brown dwarfs, approximately 470 light years (145 parsecs) away.
The 2MASS J04414489+2301513 primary (a brown dwarf) has a large separation (12.4 arcseconds) companion, 2MASS J04414565+2301580 (abbreviated as 2M J044145), which in turn has a nearby small separation substellar companion (separation of 0.23 arcseconds to the northeast). 2M J044145 has similar proper motion to 2M J044144 and is likely physically associated with the system.[7] The entire system of 4 objects is then a hierarchical quadruple of two binary stars orbiting each other.[7] The primary component has a spectral type of M4.5 and a red apparent magnitude of 14.2.[6] Both components seem to be accreting mass from their stellar disks, as shown by their emission lines.[6] The four stars have a total mass of only 26% of the Sun, making it the quadruple star system with the lowest mass known.[6]
Planetary system
The primary is orbited by a companion about 5–10 times the mass of Jupiter.[8] The mass of the primary brown dwarf is roughly 20 times the mass of Jupiter and its age is roughly one million years.[3] It is not clear whether this companion object is a sub-brown dwarf or a planet. The companion is very large with respect to its parent and must have formed within 1 million years or so. This seems to be too big and too fast to form like a regular planet from a disk around the central object.[3]
