Simbad=NAME+UScoCTIO+108bUScoCTIO 108 is a binary system, approximately 470
light-years away in theUpper Scorpius (USco)OB association . The primary, UScoCTIO 108A, with mass around 0.06solar masses , is abrown dwarf or low-massred dwarf . The secondary, UScoCTIO 108B, with a mass around the deuterium-burning limit of 13Jupiter masses , would be classified as either abrown dwarf or anextrasolar planet .References
