Trigonometric parallax of WISEP J060738.65+242953.4 is not yet measured. Therefore, there are only distance estimates of this object, obtained by indirect — spectrophotometric — means (see table).
Non-trigonometric distance estimates are marked in italic.
Physical properties
WISEP J060738.65+242953.4 has a temperature of 1460 ± 90 K and bolometric luminosity of 10−4.56 ± 0.09Solar luminosities (the estimates are based on the object's spectral class (L8)).[4] Mass estimates, determined from this temperature, are from 0.03 (for an assumed age of 0.5 Gyr) to 0.072 (for an assumed age of 10 Gyr) Solar masses, below the hydrogen-burning limit, which implies that WISEP J060738.65+242953.4 is not a true star, but only a substellar object.[4]
While some researchers had claimed that WISEP J060738.65+242953.4 may be viewed from its pole, or may rotate slowly because of its narrow spectral lines, later work demonstrated that both of these claims were unlikely.[5] This latter study estimated that the size of the radio-emitting magnetosphere is approximately 107 m.
