Epsilon Indi

Epsilon Indi (aka ε Indi or ε Ind) is a triple star system about 12 light-years away, of which two are co-orbiting brown dwarfs (T-dwarfs). In 2002, the radial velocity method revealed an extra-solar planet candidate; it has been a challenge to conclusively confirm it with details, and efforts continue. Characteristics:

• Indus - constellation.
• 22h03m21.65363s - right ascension.
• -56deg47m09.5228s - declination.
• +4.83 - apparent magnitude.
• 11.9 ly - distance.
• +1.056 - B-V color index.

ε Ind A:

• K5V - spectral type.
• 0.762 - mass(solar).
• 0.21 - luminosity(solar).
• 0.711 - radius(solar).

The two brown dwarfs(ε Ind B ab:), each:

• ~0.03 - mass(solar).
• 0.08 - radius(solar).
• less than 0.0001 - luminosity(solar).
