    WISEP J004701.06+680352.1, abbreviated as W0047+68, is a dusty intermediate brown dwarf located in the AB Doradus Moving Group. It is spectral type L, unusually red and located at a distance of 12.2 ± 0.4 parsecs. Its membership in the moving group of AB Doradus, affirmed by its own motion, indicates that it has a metallicity close to that of the Sun, an age of 100–125 million years, a mass of about 0.018 solar masses and a severity of log(g)≈4.5, it has slight depression, and likes being alone
