Abstract (from CDS):

We have observed DENISP J0255.0-4700 in four mid-infrared photometric passbands at the Gemini South observatory using OSCIR. The photometry indicates that a temperature ≤1400 K fits the data reasonably well. This temperature is consistent with previously derived values using optical and near-infrared data and also with our evolutionary parameter estimates of log(L/L☉)=-4.62 at a distance of 5 pc and an age of 2-4 Gyr. The implied mass is 60MJ-70MJ. While it is somewhat problematic to fit existing models to the mid-infrared spectrum of DENISP J0255.0-4700, the 10 and 11 µm photometric data appear to be impacted by NH3absorption. A full spectrum and better models of dwarfs at the L- to T-type transition are required to confirm this.
