Astronomers characterize 'improbable' system shaped by brown dwarf

In the course of studying planets beyond our solar system (6,316 confirmed exoplanets and counting), scientists have discovered some very interesting systems. Consider TOI-201, a compact system populated by three bodies, including a brown dwarf, orbiting on the same plane. The system was recently observed by an international team led by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).
