ELW bucket list

Kinda pleased with this discovery today. Two ELWs, orbiting each other, and the parent star is only 602MMy old - youngest ELW parent yet for me. Also a WW in-system. Sun-602-MMy-old.pngOrbits.pngPlanet-8.pngPlanet-9.png

Looking through the EDSM I found POI Canna's Comet with ELW on a highly eccentric orbit.

I guess, such things should be pretty rare.

ELW directly orbits WR star (most likely impossible, habitable zone would be too far from the star)

Well, kind of yeah, but sometimes Stellar Forge gets mad and creates strange things like The Blue Death -- ELW orbiting a WR star in less than 1 a.u. (how can this be possible in real world, I have no idea :)

HIP 69445... ah, a non-procedural star, imported from a catalogue. Makes sense, then their characteristics can be outside what the Forge generates. Thanks! Amended the first post then.

I'll also take a look at the numbers for high eccentricities, then decide what to do with that.

This may be a good place to ask : what is the youngest ELW found so far? My personal best is an ELW around a 266 MMy-old F star:

Very rare (0.025-1%):
  • ELM with GG, WW, F, G, K, M parent

Good F***ing Luck with These, because at best only a handful have been found (<0.025%):
  • ELM with parent other than the ones above

So an ELM of a brown dwarf is rarer than an ELM of a GG? That doesn't sound right to me. Also, there are no ELMs with G or F-class parents.

I'll have to check the former again, because I checked the latter, and you're right. There are no ELMs with F/G parents (yet?), I just made an error in the counts. Thanks!

Hey, congrats! Looks like that was an excellent Christmas gift for you :D


Good idea. Looks like only two so far.

just curious:
a) where are these shepard elws?? sounds cool af

b) how do you people find these things? there some data dump somewhere with all edsm'd elws in it?

Shepherd Earth-likes, specifically, moons. They orbit a ringed body, but aren't outside the rings, but are in the area between the rings and the planet instead. As you might imagine, getting an Earth-like with a stable orbit there is incredibly rare.


Also, a month-old necro that I somehow didn't notice before:

I'm not sure, but I recall seeing one that was two million years old. Which of course shouldn't be possible, especially not with green landmasses down on the surface, but hey, the Forge doesn't account for that. ELWs around proto-stars are rare, and they do exist, so you could take a look at those and see which one's main star is the youngest.

I found ELM to a Class III giant yesterday, which made me very happy. Though my personal white whale will always be to find this one again. Somehow I managed to forget to tag it, and even worse, the system screenshot I took doesn't show the name! I suspect it is one of the ELW's with the longest orbital periods. I took a selfie of it, so I have a background to triangulate against and I am going back to the area from time to time to try finding the specific system again. It was from before the journal files... \o/
