image

[edit]

The image seems like it's meant to depict AA Tauri, or was it mislabled? TheOtherSiguy (talk) 14:20, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I had the same impression, but that is the image used in the JPL/Spitzer news story linked at the bottom of the article. Regards, RJH (talk) 19:12, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Smallest

[edit]

Since Cha 110913-773444 is not a brown dwarf according to its article, OTS 44 should still be the smallest (better:lightest) brown dwarf known, shouldn't it? --Roentgenium111 (talk) 19:57, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Conundrum

[edit]

I've got something of a puzzle regarding this object. In Luhman et al (2005a) and Luhman et al (2005b), it is described as a solitary brown dwarf with a disk. SIMBAD associates this with 2MASS J11100934-7632178 and has a link to Stelzer & Micela (2007), who describe it as a wide binary brown dwarf system. I think the Stelzer & Micela article could be used to usefully expand this article, but I'm not sure if it is the same system. Neither of the Luhman et al papers list the 2MASS number. Perhaps an error was made in SIMBAD associating 2MASS J11100934-7632178 with this object? Regards, RJH (talk) 19:22, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
