  WISE 1741+2553 Location of WISE 1741+2553 in the constellation Hercules | |
WISEPA J174124.26+255319.5 (designation is abbreviated to WISE 1741+2553) is a brown dwarf of spectral class T9,[1][7] located in constellation Hercules at approximately 15.2 light-years from Earth.[3]
History of observations
Discovery
WISE 1741+2553 was discovered in 2011 from data, collected by Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) Earth-orbiting satellite — NASA infrared-wavelength 40 cm (16 in) space telescope, which mission lasted from December 2009 to February 2011. WISE 1741+2553 has three discovery papers: Scholz et al. (2011), Gelino et al. (2011) and Kirkpatrick et al. (2011).[6][8][1]
- Scholz et al. discovered two late T-type brown dwarfs, including WISE 1741+2553, using preliminary data release from WISE and follow-up near-infrared spectroscopy with LUCIFER1 near-infrared camera/spectrograph at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT).
- Gelino et al. examined for binarity nine brown dwarfs using Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics system (LGS-AO) on Keck II telescope on Mauna Kea; seven of these nine brown dwarfs were also newfound, including WISE 1741+2553. These observations had indicated that two of these nine brown dwarfs are binary, but the other seven, including WISE 1741+2553, are single brown dwarfs.
- Kirkpatrick et al. presented discovery of 98 new found by WISE brown dwarf systems with components of spectral types M, L, T and Y, among which also was WISE 1741+2553.[1][~ 1]
Distance
Currently the most accurate distance estimate of WISE 1741+2553 is a trigonometric parallax, measured using Spitzer Space Telescope and published in 2013 by Trent Dupuy and Adam Kraus: 0.180±0.015 arcsec, corresponding to a distance 5.6+0.5
−0.4 pc, or 18.1+1.6
−1.4 ly.[9]
Space motion
WISE 1741+2553 has proper motion of about 1553 milliarcseconds per year.[2]

The other eight objects, checked for binarity by Gelino et al. (2011) on Keck II:[8]

Notes
- ^ These 98 brown dwarf systems are only among first, not all brown dwarf systems, discovered from data, collected by WISE: six discoveries were published earlier (however, also listed in Kirkpatrick et al. (2011)) in Mainzer et al. (2011) and Burgasser et al. (2011), and the other discoveries were published later.
- ^ Presented in Gelino et al. (2011), but this is not mentioned in Kirkpatrick et al. (2011) and Kirkpatrick et al. (2012) — according to these two articles, the only discovery paper of WISE 0750+2725 is Kirkpatrick et al. (2011).
