2MASS J05325346+8246465 (abbreviated 2MASS J0532+8246) is possibly the first brown dwarf observed in the galactic halo of the Milky Way, and the first known substellar subdwarf star.[7][8] It was discovered from Two Micron All-Sky Survey data, and verified by observations at Palomar Observatory and W. M. Keck Observatory.[8] It has a low metallicity, which indicates it is an old star.[8]

The mass and temperature of 2MASS 0532+8246 makes it a rare object in stellar-substellar gap between conventional stars and brown dwarfs.[9] It produces roughly half of its luminosity from hydrogen fusion.[5] Such "gap" objects, covering a narrow range of masses but a wide range of temperatures, and powered by unsteady hydrogen fusion, are exotic but expected to be more common among low-metallicity objects like 2MASS J05325346+8246465.[10]

In 2008 it was discovered that this object is on a retrograde galactic orbit that is both eccentric and extends well away from the plane, making this object a member of the galactic halo.[11] In 2024 this object was identified as a possible member of the Thamnos populations, together with the T subdwarf CWISE J113010.07+313944.7.[2] Thamnos has two substructures called Thamnos 1 and Thamnos 2, both were identified in 2019 from Gaia data.[12] Thamnos is likely the remnant of a dwarf galaxy that was accreted into the Milky Way and consists of metal-poor stars that formed between 8 and 12.89 billion years.[13]
