摘要：

We present optical and near-infrared observations of a nearby (approximately 10 pc), low-temperature M dwarf star, discovered as a by-product of the APM high-redshift quasar survey. Our infrared observations place this object, BRI0021 - 0214, amongst the lowest luminosity stars yet discovered, with a bolometric luminosity of approximately 14th magnitude (approximately 10(-4) L.) and an effective temperature of approximately 2250 K.
