摘要:

我们提供了一个近红外光谱的热($T_{\rm eff}$ $\approx$ 55,000 K)DA白矮星PG 1234+482。我们确认,一个非常低的质量的同伴是负责以前公认的红外光度过剩。我们比较了M型和L型矮星的光谱,并结合适当的白矮星模型,来约束次级的光谱类型。我们发现白矮星的2质量$HK$测光的不确定性使我们无法区分它的次级是恒星还是亚恒星,并将它的光谱类型定为L0 $\pm$ 1(M9-L1),因此,这是最热最年轻的($\approx 10^6$ yr)DA白矮星,它可能有一颗褐矮星伴星.

英文摘要:

We present a near-infrared spectrum of the hot ($T_{\rm eff}$ $\approx$ 55,000 K) DA white dwarf PG 1234+482. We confirm that a very low mass companion is responsible for the previously recognised infrared photometric excess. We compare spectra of M and L dwarfs, combined with an appropriate white dwarf model, to the data to constrain the spectral type of the secondary. We find that uncertainties in the 2MASS $HK$ photometry of the white dwarf prevent us from distinguishing whether the secondary is stellar or substellar, and assign a spectral type of L0$\pm$1 (M9-L1).Therefore, this is the hottest and youngest ($\approx 10^6$ yr) DA white dwarf with a possible brown dwarf companion.
