Wiki says there's at least one sizable moon, accounting for a large gap 61 million kilometers from the planet / brown dwarf. Several other noted gaps are attributed to smaller moons.

The system is very young, so there's a suspicion that this is a protoplanetary disk rather than a long-lived ring system.

Does this system exist in OA yet? I might make it a noted home for the Jotunn.
