Summary: Body C 1 a in this system has a radius of only 154 km, making it one of the smallest astronomical bodies in the galaxy. | |
Description: This system has a number of remarkable features, including a Sudarsky Class V gas giant that orbits its binary parent stars at a distance of about 12 light-seconds. But the most interesting feature of this system is body C 1 a, a moon with a radius of just 154 km. By comparison, the smallest discovered moons in the galaxy, have radii that are only 15 km smaller. (The record holder as of 3309/02/17 is Pria Thoi ZP-G d10-37 AB 4 a, with a radius of 137.38 km.) The primary stars in this system are a class A and a class K star, with a Sudarsky Class V gas giant orbiting them just 12 light-seconds from their common barycenter. The third star has only one planet and one moon, which's irregular shape and iron-nickel composition make it look like a meatball. The body is four times smaller than its parent planet, and 70 times less massive, with a surface gravity only 0.04 g. There is active volcanism on the moon: tidal forces from the C star and the parent planet heat its interior, producing silicate fumaroles and gas vents across the moon's surface. | |
