Astronomers detect a massive brown dwarf orbiting the star TOI-5375

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have discovered a new massive brown dwarf. The newfound object is nearly 80 times more massive than Jupiter and orbits an M-dwarf star known as TOI-5375. The finding was presented in a paper published April 10 on the arXiv pre-print server.
