We have discovered using Pan-STARRS1 an extremely red late-L dwarf, which has (J – K)MKO = 2.78 and (J – K)2MASS = 2.84, making it the reddest known field dwarf and second only to 2MASS J1207–39b among substellar companions. Near-IR spectroscopy show... Read More about The Extremely Red, Young L Dwarf PSO J318.5338-22.8603: A Free-Floating Planetary-Mass Analog to Directly Imaged Young Gas-Giant Planets.
