Description
1SWASP J140747.93−394542.6 (also known as J1407 and Mamajek's Object) is a star similar to the Sun in the constellation Centaurus at a distance of about 434 light-years from Earth. A relatively young star, its age is estimated to be 16 million years, and its mass is about 90% that of the Sun. The star has an apparent magnitude of 12.3 and requires a telescope to be seen. The star's name comes from the SuperWASP (Wide Angle Search for Planets) program and the star's coordinates. The star is variable due to the planet orbiting around it and has been given the variable star designation V1400 Centauri.
In 2007, J1407 was observed to be eclipsed and orbited by at least one major body, J1407b, thought to be either a large gas giant planet or a brown dwarf, with an immense ring system. Subsequent observations have not successfully detected J1407b, suggesting that it is on a highly eccentric orbit around the star.
By 2021, it was discovered the parent star is strongly variable, with a 5.4-year long magnetic activity cycle, and no evidence was detected of additional planets or a repeat of the deep eclipses attributed to a transiting ring system.

To keep a stable ring system I decided to make orbit 2x further away that where astronomers think it is and the orbit is also not eccentric for the same reason.

I also added some moons aroun the planet to simulate the formation of moons in ring system + we have found gaps between rings

Yeah NASA really need to update it, it makes people believe something that is not true

fair enough, im just giving out real information since NASA hasn't updated their exo planet section in 7 years or smth like that

I know that but I'm not going to delete this simulation either way. Maybe if we are able to relocate the brown dwarf I'll update the simulate to conrespond to what we know but for now it will stay how it is.

J1407B isn't a planet with large rings. its likely a rouge planet/brown dwarf that has a large proto-planetary disc. that means its not orbiting a star and i might not even have a proto-planetary disc.
it might be a up close planet passing by a far away star making look larger then it really is. so it may not even be big or have rings.

oh
nathanrog06  [author] 10 Jul, 2024 @ 2:38pm 
the game does depict it as a brown dwarf so it doesn't change

UHMMM ACTUALLY J1407B IS A BROWN DWARF

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little boy called Joey, he was ten-years-old and he lived in a mental hospital because he posted a shitty copypasta onto a People Playground mod's comment section . He got so bad he went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the Feds decided that best idea was to get rid of him so they set up a special room to kill him, as inhumane as possible. And he sat there in agony for hours until he died. Now every week on the day of his death he returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00 a.m. He creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by pegging you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and he will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes nothing will happen: sorry man i am not taking the risk (im sorry im superstituos)
