An object with the spectral type L (also called L-dwarf) can be either a low-mass star,[2] a brown dwarf[3] or a young free-floating planetary-mass object.[4] If a young exoplanet or planetary-mass companion is detected via direct imaging, it can also have an L spectral type, such as Kappa Andromedae b.[5]
