[3] In 2017, more accurate analysis found it to be a binary system made up of two substellar objects of spectral class≥Y1 in orbit less than one astronomical unit from each other.
[3] WISE 0535−7500 was discovered in 2012 by J. Davy Kirkpatrick et al. from data, collected by Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) Earth-orbiting satellite — NASA infrared-wavelength 40-centimetre (16 in) space telescope, which mission lasted from December 2009 to February 2011.
[3] Brown dwarfs are defined as substellar objects that have at some time in their lives burnt deuterium in their interior.
The borderline between a brown dwarf and a planet is conventionally taken to be 13 times the mass of Jupiter.
[4] WISE 0535−7500 was studied with JWST by Beiler et al. in 2024 together with 22 other late-T and Y-dwarfs.
