Short description: Free-floating substellar object with a dust disk

This article was nominated for merging with V1400 Centauri on 28 January 2015. The result of the discussion (permanent link) was merged.

Unmerge

The object is notable enough to have its own article due to its large rings.🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 16:43, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support, but how has J1407b merged? 117daveawesome (talk) 13:14, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the page history, there have been several attempted splits over the years. SevenSpheres (talk) 16:54, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, the star V1400 Centauri is notable for the transit event caused by this object with a large ring system. An article on said object (the exact nature of which is uncertain) would just duplicate information in the existing article. SevenSpheres (talk) 16:54, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Which infobox should we use?

Should we use {{Infobox planet}} or the current starboxes? If we added the {{Infobox planet}} template, some parameters like discovery date could be added. 21 Andromedae (talk) 16:26, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@21.Andromedae: I don't have a strong preference for either, since we don't know enough about the object's properties to warrant a change. I'd be fine if other people think otherwise, though. Nrco0e (talk • contribs) 16:40, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly I'm surprised starboxes don't accommodate discovery dates in the first place, this seems like quite the oversight. ArkHyena (talk) 16:37, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Artist's impression of a circumplanetary disk orbiting a brown dwarf, similar to J1407b

... that the "Super Saturn" exoplanet J1407b might actually turn out to be a free-floating planet or brown dwarf?

Source: "Issues with the stability of any rings combined with the lack of detection of another eclipse, suggests that J1407b may not be bound to J1407." Mentel, R. T.; et al. (2018). "Constraining the period of the ringed secondary companion to the young star J1407 with photographic plates". Astronomy & Astrophysics.; "...the object we called J1407b is floating freely through the Galaxy, and just happened to pass in front of a very young star." Kenworthy, M. A. J1407b. (2024)

Comment: The J1407b article was converted from redirect into article as a result of a split from the V1400 Centauri article. I began slowly expanding V1400 Centauri on 8 July 2024, but I did not add much to the J1407b section until 24 July 2024. As of today, it's been 5 days since I significantly expanded the J1407b section. Also, the image is optional; I'm fine whether it is used or not.
