Discovery [edit]
WISE 1647+5632 was discovered in 2011 by J. Davy Kirkpatrick et al. 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. In 2011 Kirkpatrick et al. published a paper in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement, where they 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 1647+5632.[1][note 1]
Distance [edit]
Trigonometric parallax of WISE 1506+7027, published in its discovery paper in 2011, is 0.116 ± 0.029 arcsec, corresponding to a distance 8.6+2.9
−1.7 pc, or 28.1+9.4
−5.6 ly.[1]

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