WISE J1711 3500 was discovered in 2011 with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and with a spectrum from NASA IRTF as a T8 dwarf.[4] In 2012 it was discovered that this object is a binary from imaging with the Keck telescope. The individual spectral types were estimated to be T8 for the primary and T9.5 for the secondary. The pair is separated by 15 ± 2 astronomical units (AU). For an age of 1 billion years the masses are around 19-23 MJ for the primary and around 8.1-10.7 MJ for the secondary. For an age of 5 billion years the masses are around 44-48 MJ for the primary and 20-26 MJ for the secondary. The orbital period was poorly constrained, but is larger than 200 years.[1]
