2MASS J17111353 + 2326333 is an L-dwarf in the constellation Hercules .

The spectral class is roughly L0, but could also deviate from it by one or two subtypes. Its own movement is 0.064 arc seconds / year at a position angle of around 240 °. The object was first discovered by Kelle L. Cruz et al. examined a selection of objects from the 2MASS catalog in more detail in a study published in 2007. From the roughly determined spectral class and the corresponding absolute brightness, they estimated that the distance is in the order of about 40 parsecs.
