Aims. In our ongoing search for close and faint companions around T Tauri stars in the Chamaeleon star-forming region, we here present observations of a new common proper motion companion to the young T-Tauri star and Chamaeleon member CT Cha and discuss its properties in comparison to other young, low-mass objects and to synthetic model spectra from different origins. Methods. Common proper motion of the companion and CT Cha was confirmed by direct Ks-band imaging data taken with the VLT… CONTINUE READING
