Abstract

Forty-two Jupiter Mass Binary Objects (JuMBOs) have been discovered in the Trapezium Cluster: either brown dwarf stars or planets mutually orbiting in pairs. Here it is shown that, just as in galaxies and wide binaries, the mutual orbits of the objects in each of these twin systems deviate from the Newtonian and level off around a mutual acceleration of 2𝑐2/Θ=2×10−10
m/s2 supporting the minimum acceleration predicted by Quantised Inertia (QI), a theory that attributes inertial mass to an interaction between information horizons and quantum fields and predicts galaxy rotation without the need for dark matter. QI further predicts that the JuMBOs with separations of 400 AU should show orbital anomalies of 70 m/s. This could be tested using spectral Doppler data.
