- ... nights
- While the measurement of the separation
between the two object is very precise on the ISAAC aquisition
image obtained in July 2003, we could not measure the position angle PA
with high precision, see Table 1, because there are no other objects
detected on the (short exposure) aquisition image, with whose
positions we could have measured the actual detector orientation;
hence, we have to rely on the header information, which we know
to be less precise from previous experience; also, being just
an aquisition image obtained in a service mode night, we do not
have other images obtained at the same detector orientation
of other fields, which could otherwise be used for such a calibration;
hence, the large uncertainty in the third PA values in Table 1,
while the separation is more precise being independant of the
detector orientation.

- ... dwarfs
- Because the
object is close to the main sequence, it is much closer to true
dwarfs than to objects intermediate between dwarfs and giants,
so that we use the dwarf scale instead of Luhman's intermediate scale;
for intermediate objects, the temperature would be
2635 K.

- ... dimension
- In radial
velocity searches, one can detect all companions, unless the orbital
plane is perpendicular to the line-of-sight.
