WISEPA J041022.71+150248.5 (abbreviated WISE 0410+1502) is a sub-brown dwarf[~ 1] of spectral class Y0,[1][2] located in constellation Taurus. Being approximately 21.6 light-years from Earth,[3] it is one of the Sun's nearest neighbors, especially assuming outdated parallax by Marsh et al., corresponding to even closer distance of approximately 14 light-years.[5]

History of observations edit
Discovery edit
WISE 0410+1502 was discovered in 2011 from data, collected by 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 0410+1502 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 0410+1502.[1][~ 2]
- 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 0410+1502.[4] These seven objects are also the faintest seven of 98 brown dwarfs, presented in Kirkpatrick et al. (2011).[1]
Distance edit
Currently the most accurate distance estimate of WISE 0410+1502 is a trigonometric parallax, published in 2021 by Kirkpatrick et al.: 151.3±2.0 mas, corresponding to a distance 6.61±0.09 pc, or 21.6±0.3 ly.[3]
Space motion edit
WISE 0410+1502 has a large proper motion of 2,418.3±1.1 milliarcseconds per year.[3] The brown dwarf WISE 0410+1502 lies in local void 6.5 parsecs across, where relatively few stars and brown dwarfs are located.[6]
Physical properties edit
The object's temperature estimate is 451±88 K.[3] Cushing et al. obtained a low-resolution Magellan/FIRE spectrum[4] and later they obtained a higher quality spectrum with Hubble WFC3, confirming the Y0 spectral type.[7] The fitting of the spectrum with cloudy models produces realistic values and Leggett et al. finds a mass of about 10-15 MJ. The atmosphere is likely in a chemical disequilibrium and a cloud-free disequilibrium model does fit well with the Y- and H-band, but does not fit well with the J-band.[8][9]

The other six discoveries of brown dwarfs, published in Cushing et al. (2011):[4]
- WISE 0148-7202 (T9.5)
- WISE 1405+5534 (Y0 (pec?))
- WISE 1541-2250 (Y0.5)
- WISE 1738+2732 (Y0)
- WISE 1828+2650 (>Y2)
- WISE 2056+1459 (Y0)
Notes edit
- ^ Since its mass estimate 3 (3–9) MJup is below the lower brown dwarf mass limit ~13 MJup, it may be actually a sub-brown dwarf or a rogue planet.
- ^ 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.
