2MASS J05325346+8246465 (abbreviated 2MASS J0532+8246) is possibly the first brown dwarf observed in the galactic halo of the Milky Way, and the first known substellar subdwarf star. It was discovered from Two Micron All-Sky Survey data, and verified by observations at Palomar Observatory and W. M. Keck Observatory. It has a low metallicity, which indicates it is an old star.
The mass and temperature of 2MASS 0532+8246 makes it a rare object in stellar-substellar gap between conventional stars and brown dwarfs.{{citation|arxiv=1702.02001|title=Primeval very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs – II.

Such "gap" objects, covering a narrow range of masses but a wide range of temperatures, and powered by unsteady hydrogen fusion, are exotic but expected to be more common among low-metallicity objects like 2MASS J05325346+8246465.{{citation|arxiv=2007.03836|year=2020|title=WISEA J041451.67–585456.7 and WISEA J181006.18–101000.5: The First Extreme T-type Subdwarfs?|doi=10.3847/1538-4357/ab9a40|last1=Schneider|first1=Adam C.|last2=Burgasser|first2=Adam J.|last3=Gerasimov|first3=Roman|last4=Marocco|first4=Federico|last5=Gagné|first5=Jonathan|last6=Goodman|first6=Sam|last7=Beaulieu|first7=Paul|last8=Pendrill|first8=William|last9=Rothermich|first9=Austin|last10=Sainio|first10=Arttu|last11=Kuchner|first11=Marc J.|last12=Caselden|first12=Dan|last13=Meisner|first13=Aaron M.|last14=Faherty|first14=Jacqueline K.|last15=Mamajek|first15=Eric E.|last16=Hsu|first16=Chih-Chun|last17=Greco|first17=Jennifer J.|last18=Cushing|first18=Michael C.|last19=Kirkpatrick|first19=J.

In 2008 it was discovered that this object is on a retrograde galactic orbit that is both eccentric and extends well away from the plane, making this object a member of the galactic halo. In 2024 this object was identified as a possible member of the Thamnos populations, together with the T subdwarf CWISE J113010.07+313944.7. Thamnos has two substructures called Thamnos 1 and Thamnos 2, both were identified in 2019 from Gaia data. Thamnos is likely the remnant of a dwarf galaxy that was accreted into the Milky Way and consists of metal-poor stars that formed between 8 and 12.89 billion years.
