Scientific paper

We imaged the brown dwarf candidate 0918-0023B of Jones, Miller, & Glazebrook at 2.2 mu m on the Keck telescope under outstanding seeing of 0."4 full width at half-maximum intensity. The candidate object is clearly extended in comparison to the primary star 0918-0023A and several other stars in the field. So, 0918-0023B is certainly a distant galaxy and not a brown dwarf. Seven years after its discovery on the IRTF, GD 165B remains the only low-mass star/brown dwarf candidate with J - K color > 1.5 mag.
