Notes:   Candidate binary, 2MASS colors consistent with dK4-M4, a < 4″ (2007AJ....134...26H). Reference for binary status in 1999ApJS..121....1M is a private communication, and probably refers to the a ≈ 13″ common proper motion companion. There is some ambiguity in the literature about which star in the pair is the WD: 2MASS 09394969-0945562 is a closer match to the catalog coordinates of the WD (2003ApJ...582.1011S) than the southern component (2MASS 09394977-0946098); however, both stars are about equally red in the near-IR (e.g., J-Ks ≈ 0.80-0.81). We have used the northern component here, but the 2MASS photometry for the southern component was reported in 2003ApJ...586.1356W.
