| Description | PSO J318-22 is a free floating planetary mass object. It was discovered using the Pan-STARRS1 survey and is part of the beta Pictoris moving group. Evolutionary models give the object a temperature of 1160K and a mass about 6 times that of Jupiter, making PSO J318-22 one of the lowest mass free-floating objects in the solar neighborhood. |
