WISEP J180026.60+013453.1 (designation is abbreviated to W1800+0134[1]) is a brown dwarf of spectral class L7.5,[1] located in constellation Ophiuchus at approximately 26 light-years from Earth.[1]
Discovery[edit]
WISEP J180026.60+013453.1 was discovered in 2011 by Gizis et al. from data, collected by Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) Earth-orbiting satellite — NASA infrared-wavelength 40 centimetres (16 in)) space telescope, which mission lasted from December 2009 to February 2011. There are also precovery identifications of this object in Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) data (observed on 2000 September 23) and in the 3rd release of the DENIS database (close in time to the 2MASS observation).[1] On 2011 June 22 Gizis et al. had conducted near-infrared spectroscopy with SpeX spectrograph, mounted on the 3 m Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF), located at the Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii.[1] In 2011 Gizis et al. published a paper in The Astronomical Journal, where they presented discovery of a newfound by WISE L-type brown dwarf WISEP J180026.60+013453.1 (a single discovery, presented in the article).[1]
Physical properties[edit]
WISEP J180026.60+013453.1 has temperature 1430 ± 100 K and luminosity 10−4.5 ± 0.3 Solar luminosities (the estimates are based on the object's spectral class (L7.5)).[1] Mass estimates, determined from this temperature, are 0.04,[note 1] 0.05,[note 2] and 0.074[note 3] Solar masses, anyway below the hydrogen-burning limit, which implies that WISEP J180026.60+013453.1 is not a true star, but only a substellar object, that is a brown dwarf.[1]
Failed test for binarity[edit]
WISEP J180026.60+013453.1 was tested spectroscopically for L + T binarity, and the binarity was not revealed.[1] Common proper motion companions also were not found.[1]
