Y dwarfs are the coldest members of star-like bodies known as brown dwarfs, which are odd objects sometimes known as failed stars. So far, WISE has helped find 100 new brown dwarfs. To see how cool the coldest of these Y dwarfs was, the researchers used NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to analyze its pattern of light.Y dwarfs are the coldest members of star-like bodies known as brown dwarfs, which are odd objects sometimes known as failed stars.

What type of star is the coldest?
Which type of star is the coolest?
Red stars Red stars are the coolest. Yellow stars are hotter than red stars. White stars are hotter than red and yellow.
What color star is the coldest star?
red The colour provides a fundamental piece of data in stellar astrophysics—the surface temperature of the star. The hottest stars are blue and the coldest are red, contrary to the use of colours in art and in our daily experience.
What is the second coldest star?
The coldest known star is "WISE 1828+2650," which is about 80° F (about 24° C), making it colder than a human body. The second-coldest star, "CFBDSIR 1458 10b," is about 200° F (about 97° C) — essentially the same temperature as a cup of coffee.
Which stars have the coolest surface temperature?
Astronomers classify stars into different types depending on their temperatures. These types are O, B, A, F, G, K, and M, where type O stars are the hottest and type M stars are the coolest.
What is the name of the coldest star in the universe?
CFBDSIR 1458 Dubbed CFBDSIR 1458 10b, the star is what's called a brown dwarf.
What is a cold star?
Y dwarfs are the coldest members of star-like bodies known as brown dwarfs, which are odd objects sometimes known as failed stars. Brown dwarfs are too puny to force atoms to fuse together and release nuclear energy, and so they have only the little heat they were born with.
What is the coldest galaxy?
The Boomerang Nebula It is also known as the Bow Tie Nebula and catalogued as LEDA 3074547. The nebula's temperature is measured at 1 K (−272.15 °C; −457.87 °F) making it the coolest natural place currently known in the Universe. The Boomerang Nebula is believed to be a star system evolving toward the planetary nebula phase.
Why stars have different temperatures?
The other major factor effecting a star's color is its temperature. As stars increase in heat, the overall radiated energy increases, and the peak of the curve moves to shorter wavelengths. In other words, as a star becomes hotter, the light it emits is pushed further and further towards the blue end of the spectrum.
