Discovery of the Young L Dwarf WISE J1741102.78-464225.5

Abstract

We report the discovery of the L dwarf WISE J174102.78$-$464225.5, that was discovered as part of a search for nearby L dwarfs using the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The distinct triangular peak of the H-band portion of its near-infrared spectrum and its red near-infrared colors ($J-K_S$ = 2.35$\pm$0.08 mag) are indicative of a young age. Via comparison to spectral standards and other red L dwarfs, we estimate a near-infrared spectral type to be L7$\pm$2 (pec). From a comparison to spectral and low-mass evolutionary models, we determine self-consistent effective temperature, log $g$, age, and mass values of 1450$\pm$100 K, 4.0$\pm$0.25 (cm s${}^{-2}$), 10-100 Myr, and 4-21 M${}_{Jup}$, respectively. With an estimated distance of 10-30 pc, we explore the possibility that WISE J174102.78-464225.5 belongs to one of the young nearby moving groups via a kinematic analysis and we find potential membership in the $\beta$ Pictoris or AB Doradus associations. A trigonometric parallax measurement and a precise radial velocity can help to secure its membership in either of these groups.
