CWISEP J1935-1546 (CWISEP J193518.59-154620.3 or Brown Dwarf W1935 or W1935) is a cold brown dwarf or planetary-mass object with a mass of 2-20 MJ or 6-35 MJ and a distance of 14.4 parsec (47 light-years).
CWISEP J1935-1546 was discovered in 2019 by Marocco et al. as an extremely cold brown dwarf with a temperature range of 270-360 K and a distance of 5.6-10.9 parsec. It was discovered with the help of the python package XGBoost, using machine-learning algorithms and the CatWISE catalog, as well as the WiseView tool. According to a NASA press release CWISEP J1935-1546 was discovered by the security engineer and citizen scientist Dan Caselden. Follow-up observations with Spitzer revealed a very red object with ch1-ch2 of 3.24±0.31 mag. Later Kirkpatrick et al. 2021 showed a temperature of 367±79 K (15-173 °C; 59-343 °F) and a parallax of 69.3±3.8 mas (14.43+0.84
−0.75 parsec) for this object. The spectral type was estimated to be later than Y1. Observations with JWST found strong signatures of methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water vapor and ammonia in the atmosphere of this brown dwarf. The abundance of hydrogen sulfide was measured, but the researchers don't mention its detection. Phosphine is undetected and the researchers only provide upper limits.
