Herschel/SPIRE observations of the TWA brown dwarf disc 2MASSW J1207334−393254★: First submillimetre detection of 2M1207
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We have revised our analysis of the SPIRE observations of 2MASSW J1207334-393254 (2M1207). Recent PACS observations show a bright source located ~25" east of 2M1207. There are issues in terms of the detection/non-detection of the bright source when comparing the Spitzer, WISE, and PACS observations. It is apparently inconsistent, perhaps due to variability or low signal-to-noise of the data. We have looked into the possible misidentification of the target, and have revised the measured SPIRE fluxes and the disc parameters for 2M1207. We have also reviewed which among the various formation mechanisms of this system would still be valid.
