GD 165 B

GD 165 is a system of a white dwarf and a brown dwarf of spectral types DA4[2] + L4,[3] located in constellation Boötes at approximately 103 light-years from Earth.[3] GD 165 B remained the only brown dwarf companion of a white dwarf until the discovery of GD 1400 B, which was discovered 17 years later.[9]

Nomenclature and observation

"GD" means "Giclas Dwarf".[10]

The component GD 165 B was discovered in 1988 by Becklin and Zuckerman.[11] It is the first L-type brown dwarf, and in general, the first dwarf cooler than M dwarfs[12] discovered, but it was not recognized as a brown dwarf until the 1990s, when other such objects were found, starting from Gliese 229 B in 1995.[13][14]

Initially it was tentatively assigned spectral type ≥M10, but in 1999 Kirkpatrick et al. established new spectral types L and T for newly discovered objects cooler than M-type stars, and GD 165 B was reclassified L4.[3]

Distance

As of 1999 the most precise distance estimate of GD 165 was the YPC trigonometric parallax, published by van Altena et al. in 1995: 31.7 ± 2.5 mas, corresponding to a distance 31.5+2.7
−2.3 pc, or 102.9+8.8
−7.5 ly.[3] In 2018 ESA's Gaia satellite measured the parallax of the system with high precision.[5]

Physical properties

The white dwarf GD 165 A is classical ZZ Ceti variable with a temperature of about 12 100 K and a mass of 0.64 M☉.[6]

GD 165 B has a temperature of about 1750 K and a mass of about 63 MJ.[8] Like all L-dwarfs GD 165 B lacks the dominant titanium oxide seen in warmer M dwarfs. The depletion of titanium oxide is caused by the formation of perovskite grains in the photospheres of L-dwarfs.[16] Lithium is not detected in the spectrum of this L-dwarf, but considering the age of the system and the mass of the brown dwarf, any lithium should be destroyed, whether GD 165 B is a brown dwarf or not.[7]
