Abstract
This article presents coronagraphic images of the
low-mass companion to the star HR 7672 observed at the Palomar 200 inch telescope and first detected at Gemini and Keck in the K band by [CITE]. We obtained additional photometry in J(
m), H(
m) and Ks (
m) bands to
cover the full near-IR domain and hence to further constrain the
nature of the companion. A mass estimate of 58-71 
is derived from evolutionary models of very low-mass objects.
Key words: stars: individual: HR7672 / stars: low-mass, brown dwarfs / instrumentation: adaptive optics / techniques: high angular resolution / techniques: image processing
Based on data collected at the Palomar 200-inch.
