[BGM2011b] J072227.34-054026.8 , the SIMBAD biblio

With a spectral type of T10, UGPS J072227.51-054031.2 is one of the coolest objects known to date in the solar neighborhood. Multiple systems are relatively common among early and mid-T dwarfs. We search for faint and close companions around UGPS J072227.51-054031.2. We have obtained high spatial resolution images in the H and K_s bands using adaptive optics at the Very Large Telescope. With a Strehl ratio in the range 10-15%, the final images allow us to rule out the presence of a companion brighter than H≲19.4mag at separation larger than 50 mas, and H≲21.4mag at separation larger than 0.1''.
