WISE J071322.55−291751.9 (designation abbreviated to WISE 0713−2917) is a brown dwarf of spectral class Y0,[1] located in constellation Canis Major at approximately 23 light-years from Earth.[1]
Discovery
WISE 0713−2917 was discovered in 2012 by J. Davy Kirkpatrick and colleagues from data collected by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) in the infrared at a wavelength of 40 cm (16 in), whose mission lasted from December 2009 to February 2011. In 2012 Kirkpatrick et al. published a paper in The Astrophysical Journal, where they presented discovery of seven new found by WISE brown dwarfs of spectral type Y, among which also was WISE 0713−2917.[1]
Distance
Currently the most accurate distance estimate of WISE 0713−2917 is a trigonometric parallax, published in 2014 by Beichman et al.: 0.106 ± 0.013 arcsec, corresponding to a distance of 9.4 ± 1.2 pc (30.7 ± 3.9 ly).[2]
