Note: the values of radius, mass, log(g) and effective temperature are given by the average of the results of Dupuy & Kraus (2013) computed for the ages of 180 and 800 Myr. The error is simply the deviation between the two values (the deviation is 20K for the effective temperature and 0.25 for log(g) ).

Note: there is agreement that the spectrum is best reproduced by models with clouds. Morley et al. (2012) propose sulfite clouds with fsed=3, expected in T dwarfs conditions.

(Burningham et al. 2011): spectral type T8.5p±0.5 (where p stands for peculiarity, in this case an unusually enhanved K band flux).
