PSO J318.5−22 is an extrasolar object of planetary mass that does not orbit a parent star, it is an analog to directly imaged young gas giants.[6] There is no consensus yet among astronomers whether the object should be referred to as a sub-brown dwarf,[7][8] as a rogue planet[9][10] or as a young brown dwarf.[11][12] It is approximately 80 light-years away and belongs to the Beta Pictoris moving group.[13] The object was discovered in 2013 in images taken by the Pan-STARRS PS1 wide-field telescope.[14] PSO J318.5-22's age is inferred to be 23 million years, the same age as the Beta Pictoris moving group. Based on its calculated temperature and age, it is classified under the brown dwarf spectral type L7.[6]
The team leader, Michael Liu of the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii, stated, "We have never before seen an object free-floating in space that looks like this. It has all the characteristics of young planets found around other stars, but it is drifting out there all alone."[15] Current theories about such objects include the possibility that gravitational perturbations may have kicked them out of their planetary systems soon after they formed through planetary accretion, or they may have been formed by some other means.[16] Estimated temperatures inside its clouds exceed 1,100 K (800 °C). The clouds, made of hot dust and molten iron, show how widespread clouds are in planets and planet-like objects.[17] However, by 2020, modeling showed that the brightness variability could not be unambiguously attributed to clouds.[4]
