The Astronomical Journal 152, no. 5: 123. doi:10.3847/0004-6256/152/5/123.1538-3881http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:30510301We present a simultaneous, multi-wavelength campaign targeting the nearby (7.2 pc) L8/L9 (optical/near-infrared) dwarf WISEP J060738.65+242953.4 in the mid-infrared, radio, and optical. Spitzer Space Telescope observations show no variability at the 0.2% level over 10 hours each in the 3.6 and 4.5 micron bands. Kepler K2 monitoring over 36 days in Campaign 0 rules out stable periodic signals in the optical with amplitudes great than 1.5% and periods between 1.5 hours and 2 days. Non-simultaneous Gemini optical spectroscopy detects lithium, constraining this L dwarf to be less than ∼ 2 Gyr old, but no Balmer emission is observed. The low measured projected rotation velocity (v sin i < 6 km s−1) and lack of variability are very unusual compared to other brown dwarfs, and we argue that this substellar object is likely viewed pole-on. We detect quiescent (non-bursting) radio emission with the VLA. Amongst radio detected L and T dwarfs, it has the lowest observed Lν and the lowest v sin i. We discuss the implications of a pole-on detection for various proposed radio emission scenarios.en-USbrown dwarfsstarspotsstar: activitystars: individualWISEP J060738.65+242953.4solar neighborhoodJournal Article2017-03-0610.3847/0004-6256/152/5/123
