HD 136118 b



'HD 136118 b' is a massive extrasolar planet or small brown dwarf. The lower limit on its mass is only slightly less than the deuterium-burning threshold that some astronomers use to distinguish between planets and brown dwarfs. Depending on the inclination of its orbit, the actual mass could be above this limit.
