摘要
We present the discovery of a 360 au separation T3 companion to the tight (3.1 au) M4.5+M6.5 binary 2MASS J02132062+3648506. This companion was identified using Pan-STARRS 1 data and despite its relative proximity to the Sun (22.2(-4.0)(+6.4) pc; Pan-STARRS 1 parallax) and brightness (J= 15.3), it appears to have been missed by previous studies due to its position near a diffraction spike in 2MASS. The close M dwarf binary has active X-ray and Ha emission and shows evidence for UV flares. The binary's weak GALEX UV emission and strong Na I 8200 A Na absorption lead us to an age range of similar to 1-10 Gyr. Applying this age range to evolutionary models implies that the wide companion has a mass of 0.063 similar to 0.009 M circle dot. 2MASS J0213+3648 C provides a relatively old benchmark close to the L/T transition and acts as a key, older comparison to the much younger early-T companions HN Peg B and GU Psc b.
