WISE 0855-0714
(W0855, WISE J085510.83-071442.5)
(nearby brown dwarf)
WISE 0855-0714 is a nearby brown dwarf
(or sub-brown dwarf)
discovered in 2013 within data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE).
Characteristics:
Given this determined temperature (lower than Earth's)
and mass (below the range of brown dwarf), it is determined to be
a planet-like object rather than a star,
for which a number of terms are used (see free-floating planet).
