At 11 Jupiter masses, it is quite nearly a star in its own right. Might be why it’s red...

Be a hell of a thing if we actually witnessed the ignition/birth of a star.

A red midget sharing a gravitational fulcrum with a red dwarf. More like a binary system.

Due to geometric considerations, 11x the mass (roughly volume) wouldn’t be that much bigger, diameter-wise.
