The 2MASS infrared colors J = 12.295 (+/-0.020), H = 12.007 (+/-0.023), and Ks = 11.935 (+/-0.022) suggest an early G spectral type (Bessell Brett, 1988). We can use single-epoch 2MASS data to guess the spectral type since J, H, and K magnitudes were measured simultaneously and eclipses in W UMa type systems are often colorless. ... Data Source . ...
