Description
We have recently identified a young, very red (J - Ks = 2.47 mag) late L-type companion at 8.06'' +/- 0.03'' (~102 AU) from a previously unrecognized M dwarf. We determined the parallactic distance of the system to be 12.7+/-1.0 pc. Non-detection of lithium and the kinematics of the primary allowed us to constrain the age of the system in the range of 150-300 Myr. By comparison with theoretical evolutionary models we derived a mass of 73+20 -15 M Jup for the primary, at around the substellar mass regime and 11.2+9.7 -1.8 M Jup for the secondary, near the deuterium burning mass limit.

    Performance of the image persistence model for Euclid infrared detectors
    Large-format infrared detectors are at the heart of major ground and space-based astronomical instruments, and the HgCdTe HxRG is the most widely used. The Near Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) of the ESA's Euclid mission launched in July 2023 hosts 16 H2RG detectors in the focal plane. Their performance relies heavily on the effect of
