摘要:

我们提出了一个L亚矮星,2 MASS J 06164006 -6407194,在两微米全天巡天的T矮星搜索的偶然发现。它的光谱表现出的特点,包括一个沉重的压力加宽的K I共振双峰,Cs I和Rb I线,分子带的CaH,TiO,CrH,FeH,和H2O,和增强碰撞引起的吸收H2的冷和贫金属的气氛指示。我们将2 MASS 0616-6407的红色光谱与近太阳金属丰度的L型矮星的光谱进行比较,将其光谱类型定为sdL 5。它的高自行(mu =1.405+-0.008 arcsec yr-1),大径向速度(Vrad = 454+-15 km s-1),估计uvw速度(94,-573,125)km s-1和银河系轨道上的一个远银河子在~29 kpc,这表明2 MASS 0616-6407是外晕的成员,使其成为该种群的第一个超冷成员。

英文摘要:

We present the serendipitous discovery of an L subdwarf, 2MASS J06164006-6407194, in a search of the Two Micron All Sky Survey for T dwarfs. Its spectrum exhibits features indicative of both a cool and metal poor atmosphere including a heavily pressured-broadened K I resonant doublet, Cs I and Rb I lines, molecular bands of CaH, TiO, CrH, FeH, and H2O, and enhanced collision induced absorption of H2. We assign 2MASS 0616-6407 a spectral type of sdL5 based on a comparison of its red optical spectrum to that of near solar-metallicity L dwarfs. Its high proper motion (mu =1.405+-0.008 arcsec yr-1), large radial velocity (Vrad = 454+-15 km s-1), estimated uvw velocities (94, -573, 125) km s-1 and Galactic orbit with an apogalacticon at ~29 kpc are indicative of membership in the outer halo making 2MASS 0616-6407 the first ultracool member of this population.
