2MASS J10475385+2124234 (abbreviated to 2MASS J1047+21) is a brown dwarf of spectral class T6.5, in the constellation Leo. This object lies at a distance of 34 light-years from Earth. It first attracted attention by becoming the first brown dwarf of spectral class T from which radio waves were detected. This discovery then permitted its wind speeds to be computed.
