History of observations

Discovery of SIPS 1259-4336 was published in 2005 by Deacon et al. The star was detected by its high proper motion from the Southern Infrared Proper Motion Survey (SIPS).^[1]

Distance

As of May 2015, the only published distance estimates of SIPS 1259-4336 besides trigonometric parallax with high uncertainty from the star's discovery paper (6994133808575986232♠276±41 mas^[1]) is a parallax without error (~128 mas) from Burgasser et al. (2015). References of SIPS 1259-4336 data, including the parallax, were Deacon et al. (2005a) and T. Henry, priv. comm.^[2]
