* No visual magnitude has been recorded for the brown dwarf component of this system. The figure of +21 given here is calculated from comparable flux values in other frequency bands, which imply that the brown dwarf is about thirty-two times fainter than the red dwarf SCR 1845-6357 A (which is itself spectacularly faint at magnitude +17.40).
