Burningham et al. (2009) determine that ULAS J214638.83-001038.7 is a |
Bng2009 |
|
CPM companion to the high proper motion M4 dwarf Wolf 940. Spectral |
|
|
type of the companion is T8.5 +/- 0.5. Given the distance to Wolf 940 |
|
|
= 12.50 +0.75/-0.67 pc, the 32" angular separation corresponds to a |
|
|
projected separation of 400 +/- 22 au. Mass of the companion is 20-32 |
|
|
Mjup, Teff 570 +/- 25K, radius 0.094 +/- 0.004 Rsun. Observations |
|
|
using Keck laser guide star AO indicated no evidence of any close |
|
|
companion to the T8 companion. JHK photometry of the primary is from |
|
|
2MASS. |
