2MASS J09373487+2931409, or 2MASSI J0937347+293142 (abbreviated to 2MASS 0937+2931) is a brown dwarf of spectral class T6,[3][4] located in the constellation Leo about 19.96 light-years from Earth.
[1] 2MASS 0937+2931 was discovered in 2002 by Adam J. Burgasser et al. from Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS), conducted from 1997 to 2001.
In 2002 Burgasser et al. published a paper, where they defined new spectral subtypes T1—T8, and presented discovery of 11 new T-type brown dwarfs, among which also was 2MASS 0937+2931.
Naval Observatory Infrared Astrometry Program, was published in 2004 by Vrba et al.[5] 2MASS 0937+2931 has an unusual spectrum, indicating a metal-poor atmosphere and/or a high surface gravity (high pressure at the surface).
The Research Consortium On Nearby Stars (RECONS) estimates the brown dwarf to be 0.03 solar masses.
