- This paper presents the first non-accreting ultra-cool dwarf to be detected at millimetre wavelengths. This is significant as it marks the opening of a new window for intensive investigations of the magnetic dynamo and particle acceleration processes that are jointly responsible for the centimetre-to-millimetre emission of ultra-cool dwarfs. Furthermore, it indicates that atmospheric plasma processes play an important role and should be incorporated into atmospheric models. Our work was positively cited by leaders in the field: https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4365/aac2d5; and, in wider recognition we were pleased to find that this work was reported in a number of media outlets: https://www.altmetric.com/details/4781777/news
