The brown dwarf circles its host star so closely that its temperature incredibly exceeds that of our Sun.
The brown dwarf was found orbiting WD0032-317, a low-mass white dwarf. The star has just 40 percent the mass of our Sun, but it is significantly hotter, with temperatures reaching 37,000 Kelvin. In comparison, the surface of the sun is roughly 5,778 K .
This results in temperatures varying from 7,250 to 9,800 K on one side facing the star, while the one away experiences relatively lower temperatures about 1,300 to 3,000 K.
