A search for
faint companions using the Hubble Space Telescope found no supporting evidence for a large Jupiter or brown dwarf sized object, although the observed positions of Sirius AB — Gl 244 AB — differed from published orbital elements (Schroeder et al, 2000).

faint comoving
companions to ultimately carry out a comprehensive analysis of the occurence of giant planets and brown dwarf
companions at wide (10 - 2000 AU) orbits around young, solar - type stars.
