[1] This category of dwarf stars was introduced in 1997 by J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Todd J. Henry, and Michael J. Irwin.As the age of the universe is only 13.8 billion years, all ultra-cool dwarf stars are therefore in the early portions of their life-cycles.Models predict that at the ends of their lives the smallest of these stars will become blue dwarfs rather than expanding into red giants.These observation campaigns identified the noteworthy 2MASS J10475385+2124234, which has a temperature of 800-900 K making it the coolest known radio-emitting brown dwarf (as of 2012).[7] More recent observations found an even colder ultracool dwarf with radio emission, called WISEPA J062309.94-045624.6 (T8),[8] with a temperature of around 740 K.[9]
