	Epsilon Indi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As seen from Epsilon Indi, the Sun is a 2nd-magnitude star in Ursa Major, near the bowl of the Big Dipper.
		Epsilon Indi has the second highest proper motion (second only to 61 Cygni) of any naked eye star, or possibly the third highest since the magnitude 6.4 Groombridge 1830 is a naked eye star under exceptionally dark skies.
		Epsilon Indi is held by many Star Trek fans to be the home star system of the Andorian race.

	Epsilon Indi
		Discovered in 2003, this brown dwarf, Epsilon Indi Ba, has a mass of 40 to 60 times the mass of Jupiter and a surface temperature of about 1,260 K. Shortly after its discovery, Epsilon India Ba was found to have an orbital companion of its own—a cooler, fainter brown dwarf known as Epsilon Indi Bb.
		Epsilon Indi Ba and Bb are members of a recently discovered type of astronomical object—the "T" class brown dwarfs.
		Epsilon Indi has the tenth highest proper motion of any known star.

	Epsilon Indi
		Epsilon Indi has such a high proper motion that, within a few thousand years, it will have moved out of Constellation Indus constellation and into neighboring Constellation Tucana, the Toucan.
		Epsilon Indi is a orange-red main sequence dwarf star of spectral and luminosity type K4-5 Ve.
		Since Epsilon Indi is sort of like a distant cousin to Sol, some speculate whether it might just be bright enough to support Earth-type life on a planet lucky enough to orbit in its water zone.

	Closest known brown dwarf has a companion
		Epsilon Indi is the fifth brightest star in the southern constellation of Indus and is located about 11.8 light years away from our solar system.
		Epsilon Indi Ba and Bb are members of a recently discovered type of astronomical object--the "T" class brown dwarfs.
		Epsilon Indi Ba and Bb are glowing from heat resulting from the mass pushing down on the interior.

	Discovery of nearest known brown dwarf
		Epsilon Indi B has a mass just 45 times that of Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, and a surface temperature of only 1000 °C. It belongs to the so-called 'T dwarf' category of objects which straddle the domain between stars and giant planets.
		Epsilon Indi B is the nearest and brightest T dwarf known.
		However, it may be assumed that the age of Epsilon Indi B is the same as that of Epsilon Indi A, whose age is estimated to be 1.3 billion years based on its rotational speed.

	Eridanus League
		Epsilon was terraformed by some of the earliest interstellar colonisation ventures (Mars Interstellar, Kelkemesh Ventures and Eridani Vision Inc.) in the Nanotech Window, after a period of initial disagreements forming the Eridanus League to oversee the terraforming and administration.
		To their credit, the military forces organized by the Epsilon Eridani council to defend other worlds never used their armaments to force defecting worlds to return to the fold, and even in the crisis years there were surprisingly few attempts by the SCS commanders to alter the local balance of power during inter-colony disputes.
		The various colonies in the E Indi Provisional Confederacy willingly joined the League except for several Christian-cultist and Ecopagan compounds located on planetoids in the outer belts.

		Somewhat farther away than Epsilon Indi (19.87 light years), it actually has a higher velocity through space (almost 140 kilometers per second, with respect to the Sun).
		Unlike Epsilon Indi, which is moving more-or-less across our line of sight, Gliese 783 is moving rapidly towards us.

	Discovery Of Nearest Known Brown Dwarf; Bright Southern Star Epsilon Indi Has Cool, Substellar Companion
		Epsilon Indi B has a mass just 45 times that of Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, and a surface temperature of only 1000 degC.
		Future studies of the new object promise to provide astronomers with important new clues as to the formation and evolution of these exotic celestial bodies, at the same time yielding interesting insights into the border zone between planets and stars.
		With the help of Epsilon Indi B, astronomers should now be able to see further into the mysteries surrounding the formation and evolution of the exotic objects known as brown dwarfs, halfway between stars and giant planets, the physics of their inner cores, and the weather and chemistry of their atmospheres.

		The Alliance currently consists of 4 systems, Epsilon Indi, Deneb, Zyboda, and Niven, and is a loose conglomeration of systems that have banded together to defend themselves from the Empire.
		Currently, all of the members of the Alliance are independent, and maintain independent navies, although they do contribute to a 'mutual defense' fund to be used by the Alliance for the construction and maintenance of a naval defense force.
		The Epsilon Indi system is the front line of the war against the Empire, and thus feels the heat a little more than the other systems.

	The Properties of the Local Interstellar Medium and the Interaction of the Stellar Winds of \epsilon Indi and \lambda ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		For the 3.46 pc (23 pc) line of sight to \epsilon Ind (\lambda And), the average density for the interstellar medium is found to be n_H I=0.094\pm 0.022 cm^-3 (n_H I=0.040\pm 0.014 cm^-3).
		We believe hot hydrogen surrounding \epsilon Ind and \lambda And is responsible for the second H I absorption component.
		The temperatures we measure for the second components are 100,000\pm 20,000 and 62,000\pm 18,000 K for \epsilon Ind and \lambda And, respectively.
