The smallest and coldest brown dwarf that emits radio waves has been discovered
An article published in “The Astrophysical Journal Letters” reports the detection of radio emissions from the brown dwarf cataloged as WISE J062309.94−045624.6, the smallest known in the field of radio astronomy. A team of researchers used the ASKAP, Australian Telescope Compact Array, and MeerKAT radio telescopes to obtain the measurements necessary to establish the nature of the object. Typically, a brown dwarf smaller than Jupiter doesn’t emit radio waves, making WISE J062309.94−045624.6 an interesting astronomical research target.
