Companion

HD 140913 has a companion called HD 140913 B discovered in 1996.[6] A brown dwarf which is 46 times as massive as Jupiter. It orbits about every 148 days. Its orbital eccentricity is 0.61 and its semimajor axis is 0.54 AU.

gollark: I *would* like more CC servers than Switchcraft, but TechCorp is a bit triangular.
gollark: I don't actually know.
gollark: Earlier today I was on there, as someone who is technically a staff member. It was broken in so many ways.
