Using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has detected three companions to aged stars—two low-mass stars and one brown dwarf. The newfound objects are the size of Jupiter but at least 70 times more massive than the solar system's biggest planet. The finding is reported in a paper published October 25 on the arXiv pre-print server.
