EF Eridani
(binary star including a substellar object)
EF Eridani is a binary star in which the smaller
binary companion (EF Eridani B) is a substellar object with
the appearance of a (former) star that lost most of its mass
to its companion. It is a planetary mass object (PMO) presumably originally created
through the star formation process rather than typical
planet formation. The more-massive EF Eridani A is a white dwarf.
