We used the Magellan adaptive optics system to image the 11 Myr substellar companion 1RXS 1609 B at the bluest wavelengths to date (z' and Ys). Comparison with synthetic spectra yields a higher temperature than previous studies of $T_\mathrm{eff}=2000\pm100\mathrm{K}$ and significant dust extinction of $A_V=4.5^{+0.5}_{-0.7}$ mag. Mass estimates based on the DUSTY tracks gives 0.012-0.015 Msun, making the companion likely a low-mass brown dwarf surrounded by a dusty disk. Our study suggests that 1RXS 1609 B is one of the 25% of Upper Scorpius low-mass members harboring disks, and it may have formed like a star and not a planet out at 320 AU.

NEW EXTINCTION AND MASS ESTIMATES OF THE LOW-MASS COMPANION 1RXS 1609 B WITH THE MAGELLAN AO SYSTEM: EVIDENCE OF AN INCLINED DUST DISK
