摘要:

目的:WISE提供了一个红外全天空巡天,旨在完成我们对可能急剧增加的温度较低的褐矮星数量的了解。我们寻找最冷的褐矮星的最近代表,这将是非常有趣的详细的后续观察,一旦他们被发现。研究方法:我们已经使用了WISE发布的初步数据,选择了具有晚T矮星典型颜色的明亮候选者,试图将它们与微弱的2 MASS和SDSS天体相匹配,以确定它们的自行,并在光谱上跟踪它们。结果如下:我们已经发现了两个新的超冷棕矮星WISE J 0254 +0223和WISE J1741+2553,它们的自行分别约为2.5和1.5角秒/年。由于它们的w1-w2~3.0和J-w2~4.0色指数,我们预计它们的光谱类型为~T8-T10,绝对星等为M_{w2} ~14。我们确认WISE J1741+2553是一颗T9-T10矮星,来自LBT/LUCIFER 1的近红外光谱。根据它们明亮的WISE w2星等12.7和12.3,我们估计它们的距离分别为5.5 $^{+2.3}_{-1.6}$ pc和4.6 $^{+1.2}_{-1.0}$ pc,切向速度分别为~65 km/s和~34 km/s,分别表示银河系的厚盘和薄盘成员。

英文摘要:

Aims: WISE provides an infrared all-sky survey which aims at completing our knowledge on the possibly dramatically increasing number of brown dwarfs with lower temperatures. We search for the nearest representatives of the coolest brown dwarfs, which will be very interesting for detailed follow-up observations, once they haven been discovered. Methods: We have used the preliminary data release from WISE, selected bright candidates with colours typical of late-T dwarfs, tried to match them with faint 2MASS and SDSS objects, to determine their proper motions, and to follow-up them spectroscopically. Results: We have identified two new ultracool brown dwarfs, WISE J0254+0223 and WISE J1741+2553, with large proper motions of about 2.5 and 1.5 arcsec/yr, respectively. With their w1-w2~3.0 and J-w2~4.0 colour indices we expect both to have a spectral type of ~T8-T10 and absolute magnitude of M_{w2}~14. We confirm WISE J1741+2553 as a T9-T10 dwarf from near-infrared spectroscopy with LBT/LUCIFER1. From their bright WISE w2 magnitudes of 12.7 and 12.3, we estimate distances of 5.5$^{+2.3}_{-1.6}$ pc and 4.6$^{+1.2}_{-1.0}$ pc and tangential velocities of ~65 km/s and ~34 km/s indicating Galactic thick and thin disk membership, respectively.
