SDSS J1416+1348
SDSS J1416+1348 (full designation is SDSS J141624.08+134826.7) is a nearby wide binary system of two brown dwarfs, located in constellation Boötes. The system consists of L-type component A and T-type component B.
Discovery.
Component A was discovered in late 2009 from a search of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7, an astronomical survey conducted at Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico, United States. It has two discovery papers: "Bowler et al
indicates that SDSS J1416+1348 is now approaching to us). Total velocity of SDSS J1416+1348 relatively to Solar system is 42.8 km/s.
SDSS J1416+1348 space motions estimates
Space motion of SDSS J1416+1348 indicates that it is member of Galactic thin disk population.
Space motion Solar encounter.
Since SDSS J1416+1348 moves much faster in radial direction than in tangential direction, and radial velocity is negative, this brown dwarf system should pass Solar system in future at much smaller distance
