Abstract (from CDS):

We have measured a trigonometric parallax to the young brown dwarf 2MASSW J1207334-393254. The distance (54.0+3.2–2.8pc) and space motion confirm membership in the TW Hydrae Association. The primary is a ∼25 MJupbrown dwarf. We discuss the ``planetary mass'' secondary, which is certainly below the deuterium-burning limit but whose colors and absolute magnitudes pose challenges to our current understanding of planetary-mass objects.
