WISEPC J150649.97+702736.0 (designation abbreviated to WISE 1506+7027, or WISE J1506+7027) is a brown dwarf of spectral class T6,[1]:{{{3}}}[2]:{{{3}}} located in constellation Ursa Minor.[note 1] Being 11.1+2.3
−1.3
light-years from Earth,[3]:{{{3}}} it is one of the Sun's nearest neighbors. Brown dwarfs closer to the Sun include Luhman 16 and WISE 0855−0714. Other brown dwarfs that may be closer to the Sun include ε Indi Ba and ε Indi Bb at 11.8 light-years and WISE 0350-5658 at 12.1+5.2
−1.3
light-years.

Discovery

WISE 1506+7027 was discovered in 2011 from data collected by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) in the infrared at a wavelength of 40 cm (16 in), whose mission lasted from December 2009 to February 2011. In 2011, Kirkpatrick and colleagues published a paper in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement, where they presented discovery of 98 new found by WISE brown dwarf systems with components of spectral types M, L, T and Y, among which also was WISE 1506+7027.[1]:{{{3}}}[note 2]

Distance

Trigonometric parallax of WISE 1506+7027, published in 2013 by Marsh et al., is 0.310±0.042, corresponding to a distance 3.4+0.7
