Name: Ollym

Designation: Kaywell B d I

Discovery (Mesbin): Radial Velocity (of Lowel)

Discovered by careful observations of Lowel's wobble over time, Ollym is the large planetary companion of Lowel. Very little is known about it, but the existence of Ollym puts an interesting perspective on the planet Lowel, which now must be around half the mass it was previously assumed to be, and possibly under significant tidal stress. One or both objects may be tectonically active and covered in rifts and volcanism due to the proximity of this pair.

Atmospheric Properties

Ollym's atmosphere is thin, and not even as dense as Mars'.

Composition:

• Carbon Dioxide 93%
• Nitrogen 2%
• Argon 1%

Other:

• Pressure = 0.0053 atm.
• Temperature = 0.25° Celsius.
• Height = 66,000 meters.

Geology

Ollym's surface is covered in huge volcanic mountains similar to those found in the Solar System on Mars. It is therefore known to be under a lot of internal tidal stress.
