2MASS J0441+2301 is a young quadruple system hosting a planetary-mass object, a red dwarf star and two brown dwarfs, approximately 470 light years (145 parsecs) away.

The 2MASS J04414489+2301513 Bab primary (a brown dwarf) has a large separation (12.4 arcseconds) companion, 2MASS J04414565+2301580 Aa (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.[8] The entire system of 4 objects is then a hierarchical quadruple of two binary objects orbiting each other.[8] The primary component Aa has a spectral type of M4.5 and a red apparent magnitude of 14.2.[3] Both components seem to be accreting mass from their stellar disks, as shown by their emission lines.[3] The four objects have a total mass of only 26% of the Sun, making it the quadruple star system with the lowest mass known.[3]

Planetary system

The primary is orbited by a companion about 5–10 times the mass of Jupiter.[9] The mass of the primary brown dwarf is roughly 20 times the mass of Jupiter and its age is roughly one million years.[4] 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.[4]
