New study shows a brown dwarf HD 106906 B that formed like a star, rather than planet

Star system: HD 106906 A | Distance from the Sun: 334 light years

Astronomers have studied the atmosphere of a newly discovered planet-mass companion to a young star. They find that its carbon-to-oxygen ratio is consistent with it forming like a star, rather than like a planet.
