UGPS J0521+3640 is a nearby brown dwarf of spectral class T8.5, located in the constellation Auriga. It was discovered in 2011 using United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT), UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS), UGPS (UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey) component, 6th data release. [1]
Its photometric distance estimate is 8.2+1.2
−1.0
pc, or 26.7+3.9
−3.3
ly.
[1] Based on its
parallax measured in 2019, its distance is 26.7 ± 0.3
light-years (8.186 ± 0.092
parsecs).
