WISEPA J173835.53+273258.9 (abbreviated WISE 1738+2732) is a brown dwarf of spectral class Y0,[1][2] located in the constellation Hercules at 24.9 light-years from Earth.[5]
History of observations
[edit]WISE 1738+2732 was discovered in 2011 from data, collected by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) Earth-orbiting satellite — NASA infrared-wavelength 40 cm (16 in) space telescope, which mission lasted from December 2009 to February 2011. WISE 1738+2732 has two discovery papers: Kirkpatrick et al. (2011) and Cushing et al. (2011), however, basically with the same authors and published nearly simultaneously.[1][4]
- Kirkpatrick et al. presented discovery of 98 new found by WISE brown dwarf systems with components of spectral types M, L, T and Y, among which also was WISE 1738+2732.[1][~ 1]
- Cushing et al. presented discovery of seven brown dwarfs — one of T9.5 type, and six of Y-type — first members of the Y spectral class, ever discovered and spectroscopically confirmed, including "archetypal member" of the Y spectral class WISE 1828+2650, and WISE 1738+2732.[4] These seven objects are also the faintest seven of 98 brown dwarfs, presented in Kirkpatrick et al. (2011).[1]
Currently the most accurate distance estimate of WISE 1738+2732 is a trigonometric parallax, published in 2021 by Kirkpatrick et al.: 130.9±2.1 mas, corresponding to a distance of 7.6±0.1 pc, or 24.9±0.4 ly.[5] WISE 1738+2732 has a proper motion of 481.2±1.1 milliarcseconds per year.[5]
Properties
[edit]The object's temperature estimate is 350 (350–400) K.[4] Its spectrum is similar with spectrum of another Y-dwarf WISE 1405+5534.
Disequilibrium chemistry models suggest that this Y-dwarf has a low mass of about 3-9 MJup, making it a possible isolated planetary-mass object, together with WISE 0350-5658.[6] A more recent paper finds a mass of 5-14 MJup.[7]
WISE 1405 is variable in the near- and mid-infrared. The observations were made with the Gemini Observatory and Spitzer. It has a rotation period of 6.0±0.1 hours and the amplitude is 3% for 4.5 μm and may be as high as 5-30% in the near-infrared. This dependence on wavelength can be reproduced with patchy cloud layers made up of potassium chloride (KCl) and sodium sulfide (Na2S).[8]

Notes
[edit]- ^ These 98 brown dwarf systems are only among first, not all brown dwarf systems, discovered from data, collected by WISE: six discoveries were published earlier (however, also listed in Kirkpatrick et al. (2011)) in Mainzer et al. (2011) and Burgasser et al. (2011), and the other discoveries were published later.
