JWST/NIRSpec Observations of the Coldest Known Brown Dwarf

JWST/NIRSpec Observations of the Coldest Known Brown Dwarf

We present 1–5 μ m spectroscopy of the coldest known brown dwarf, WISE J085510.83−071442.5 (WISE 0855), performed with the Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). NIRSpec has dramatically improved the measurement of the spectral energy distribution (SED)...
