GPX-1b is a recently discovered transiting brown dwarf with a mass of 19.7 ± 1.6 MJup, and a radius of 1.47 ± 0.10 RJup, the first sub-stellar object discovered by the GPX (Galactic Plane eXoplanet) survey! The brown dwarf transits a moderately bright fast-rotating F2-type star with an effective temperature of 7000 ± 200 K, mass 1.68 ± 0.10 MSun, and radius 1.56 ± 0.10 RSun. GPX-1b has an orbital period of 1.744579 ± 0.000008 d and a transit depth of 0.90 ± 0.03%.

"Carbon stars with ancient satellites colonized by sentient fungi. Gas giants inhabited by vast meteorological intelligences. Worlds stretched thin across the membranes where the dimensions intersect... impossible to describe with our limited vocabulary."
