WISE J2354+0240 (WISE J235402.77+024015.0, WISE 2354+0240) is a brown dwarf or free-floating planetary-mass object. It is a Y-dwarf, meaning it is one of the coldest directly imaged astronomical objects.[1]

It was discovered in 2015, using the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and spectroscopy from the Hubble Space Telescope. The authors find that the J-band peak in the spectrum is narrower than the Y0 standard and therefore assigned a spectral type of Y1, with an estimated temperature of 300−400 Kelvin. The age was estimated to be at least 1.5 billion years.[1] Parallax measurement places this object at 7.7 parsec from the solar system.[4]
Near-infrared photometry was later obtained with Hubble and a temperature of 335 ±11 K and a mass of 11 ±3 MJ was estimated.[2] WISE 2354+0240 was observed with the JWST and the temperature was estimated to be 362+10
−12 K. The object is not described in detail in this work. The authors however mention that they see a number of absorption features in their sample, including water vapor, methane, ammonia, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. They note that none of their objects show absorption due to phosphine, which is predicted to occur in these objects.[3]
