If so, I imagine this would apply to red and orange dwarf stars as well which would be a challenge for what I would like to do with it.
For some reason, Universe Sandbox always exaggerated the temperatures on the side of my planet permanently facing the brown dwarf. The computed temperatures were therefore quite higher than I had independently calculated using formulas. I suspect the reason for this exaggeration was a lack of a wind model, in Universe Sandbox, to distribute temperatures across the longitudes.
