A binary brown dwarf system consists of two failed stars locked in mutual orbit. Astronomers study these pairs to refine models of substellar object formation and atmospheric physics. Researchers benefit by testing gravitational and evolutionary theories, while the data aids exoplanet hunters in distinguishing massive planets from low-mass brown dwarfs.
