Scientific paper

Astrometric results are reported for the nearby M dwarf LHS 1047. A perturbation is present with a period of 4.63 yr; the absolute trigonometric parallax of the system is 0arcsec.189±0arcsec.005. Infrared speckle observations have imaged the pair at 2.2 μm, and subsequently the system has been observed visually. The masses of the two components are estimated to be 0.17±0.12 and 0.06±0.03 M_sun;. The secondary thus has one of the lowest stellar masses of any object known.
