Another notable star is [4705] epsilon Indi. It lies about 11.82 light-years away and is one of the closest stars to Earth. It is a orange dwarf with a pair of brown dwarfs orbiting it.
In 2003, astronomers announced that epsilon Indi was accompanied by a brown dwarf. It was later discovered that the brown dwarf was actually a binary system.

methane dwarfs were discovered; these are thought to be older brown dwarfs that have cooled sufficiently over billions of years so that large amounts of methane could form in their atmospheres. The closest brown dwarf to Earth, Epsilon Indi B, ...
