Scientific paper

USing 2MASS data and CTIO photometry, an isolated, 25 Jupiter mass brown dwarf has been discovered in the TW Hya association. This M8 brown dwarf shows extremely strong H alpha emission, indicating it is the second member of a rare class of highly active, young brown dwarfs. Chandra observations are needed to understand the nature of activity. The proposed observations will obtain an X-ray spectrum of the brown dwarf, or else set a surprisingly deep upper limit on any X-ray activity.
