Abstract:Aims. Our objective is the optical and near-infrared spectroscopic characterisation of 2MASS J0249−0557 c, a recently discovered young planetary mass companion to the β Pictoris (∼25 Myr) member 2MASS J0249−0557. Methods. Using the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) Hemisphere Survey (VHS) and the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) data, we independently identified the companion 2MASS J0249−0557 c. We also obtained low-resolution optical spectroscopy of this object using the Optical Sys… Show more
