T-type star
(T, T dwarf, T-class star)
(brown dwarf with a temperature in the vicinity of 1000 K)
A T-type star is a star within the T-class, a
spectral class indicating stars with methane
spectral lines and a temperature in the 700-1300 K range,
which encompasses some cool brown dwarfs (T dwarfs).
The spectral energy distribution (SED) peaks in the mid-infrared range.
T-type stars are dim and the number known has been low,
but should be increasing with modern equipment.
A 2015 list of brown dwarfs includes 794 T dwarfs.
Another type of star commonly mentioned is a T-Tauri star,
which is entirely different.
