2MASS J11083081 + 6830169 , also 2MASSW J1108307 + 683017 or 2MASSI J1108307 + 683017 , is a variable L-dwarf in the constellation Great Bear (Ursa major).
The property was acquired in June 1999 by Gizis et al. after analyzing 2MASS and POSS-II data spectroscopically examined and identified as an ultra-cool dwarf. They observed a strong Hα emission. Photometric investigations in the I-band by Gelino et al. (2002) showed a non-periodic variability. As an interpretation of this observation, Gelino et al. suggest that the brightness fluctuations could be due to the changes in clouds in the atmosphere and not to a changing activity of the object.
