| SUMMARY | ||
| From the surface of the 1 a moon, the ring system of its brown dwarf star parent can be seen drifting across the sky. | → | From the surface of the 1 a moon, the ring system of its brown dwarf star parent can be seen drifting across the sky. |
| DESCRIPTION | ||
| → | ||
The point of interest in this system is the 1 a moon, which orbits close to the ring system of its parent, a class Y brown dwarf star. Close enough that the the ring system of its parent can be seen drifting across the sky.
The effect is driven by the observer's near-synchronous orbital and rotational periods (0.8 D / 0.8 D), and is further enhanced by a nearly circular orbit, an almost zero orbital inclination, and a strongly tilted retrograde axial rotation - a rare combination that produces a smooth and clearly visible apparent motion. | → | The point of interest in this system is the 1 a moon, which orbits close to the ring system of its parent, a class Y brown dwarf star.
