From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of astronomical objects with the
spectral type Y . They are a mix of
brown dwarfs and
planetary-mass objects . They are the coldest such objects in interstellar space and have a temperature around below 500
Kelvin (227°C; 440°F). Only a few are known due to their faint nature. The list is sorted after distance.
