Summary:

A strange orbital configuration where a T Tauri star is directly orbiting a Class III Gas Giant as its moon, despite being much heavier than its parent.

 
Description:

Within this seemingly normal black hole system lies a wild oddity: a gas giant with a T Tauri star as its moon.

Body BC 9 in the system is a hot Class III gas giant at 391.1738 Earth masses. Its satellite, BC 9 a, however, is a T Tauri star, at a whopping 5,195.2634 Earth masses.

System Map

The laws of physics as we currently know them forbid such situations, especially when the T Tauri Star is 13 times more massive than its parent gas giant. How the gas giant survived intact for four million years is also a mystery.

Class 3 from star

The name Adynaton refers to figures of speech that represent clearly impossible or unattainable situations, such as the configuration here. Perhaps there is some invisible mass nearby that is somehow not registered by the ship's systems?
