| SUMMARY | ||
| Body A 8 in this system stands out with its large rings, which are visible from a distance of several thousand light seconds. | → | Body A 8 in this system stands out with its large rings, which from a distance makes it look like the body is missing. |
| DESCRIPTION | ||
| → | ||
In the chi Hydrae system, several brown dwarfs orbit the main star. Each of them has a developed ring system. But chi Hydrae A 8 stands out from the rest: this star has rings of such monstrous sizes that they exceed the diameter of chi Hydrae A by about 6-8 times. The outer radius of its rings is 16.0413971539 solar radius. They are so huge that they can be seen from a distance of several thousand light seconds, like a star, provided they aren't viewed from at the edge. Several shepherd moons orbit within the ring system: chi Hydrae A 8 a and chi Hydrae A 8 b, the latter of which even has a nested moon of its own, chi Hydrae A 8 b a. Outside the rings is a gas giant moon (A 8 c) that has rings of its own.
