Discovery

edit

WISE 0825+2805 was discovered in 2015 by Schneider et al. with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and the Hubble Space Telescope, using WFC3 near-infrared grism spectroscopy. The team also announced the discovery of three T-dwarfs as well as two additional Y-dwarfs (WISE J1206+8401 and WISE J2354+0240) in the same paper.[1]

Physical properties

edit

WISE 0825+2805 was observed with JWST NIRCam and MIRI. The modeling requires phosphine-free and diabatic models to produce a good fit. The good fit requires an effective temperature of 350 Kelvin and a surface gravity of log g = 4.0. Alternatively a lower surface gravity could improve the fit. The model parameters correspond to a mass of 5 MJ and an age of 800 Myrs.[3]
