Three-colour image of SCR1845−6357AB generated from the SDI filter images (blue=1.575 μm, green=1.600 μm, red=1.625 μm). Because the T-dwarf fades away towards the longer wavelengths, it appears quite blue in this image. It is roughly 50 times fainter than the star and is separated from it by an angle of 1.17″ on the sky (4.5 times the Earth-Sun distance). | |
