Are there any exoplanets around brown dwarfs?

[HelloNiceToMeetYou]

Title speaks for its self. I cannot find any information so far on this; so far. Tried google... If anyone knows of any brown dwarf systems with exoplanets, could someone please post a link on here? Or explain were to find information regarding this.

Thank You

Yes.


2M1207b,

An international team of astronomers reports today confirmation of the discovery of a giant planet, approximately five times the mass of Jupiter, that is gravitationally bound to a young brown dwarf.

MOA-2007-BLG-192L ,

The planet's host star is small as well. At roughly 6% the mass of our sun, the star is probably too small to sustain fusion reactions in its core, said Bennett, making it a dimly glowing brown dwarf.

and,

This object demonstrates that planetary-mass companions to brown dwarfs can form on a timescale of τ 1 Myr.

The observations, and analyses, were later published in the Astrophysical Journal: "A Low-Mass Planet with a Possible Sub-Stellar-Mass Host in Microlensing Event MOA-2007-BLG-192"
