The system was first identified through a percent-deep transit in Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite photometry; further analysis showed it to be a grazing transit of a Jupiter-sized object. Radial velocity (RV) follow-up with the SPIRou near-infrared high-resolution velocimeter and spectropolarimeter in the framework of the 300-night SPIRou Legacy Survey carried out at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope led to the detection of a Keplerian RV signal with a semi-amplitude of 2306 ± 10 m s<SUP>-1</SUP> in phase with the 14.5 day transit period, with a slight but nonzero eccentricity. The intermediate-mass ratio (M<SUB>⋆</SUB>/M<SUB>comp</SUB> ~ 31) is unique for having such a short separation (0.095 ± 0.001 au) among known M-dwarf systems. Interestingly, M-dwarf-BD systems with similar mass ratios exist with separations of tens to thousands of astronomical unit.STAMPAenTOI-1278 B: SPIRou Unveils a Rare Brown Dwarf Companion in Close-in Orbit around an M DwarfArticle10.3847/1538-3881/ac096d2-s2.0-85116339172https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/ac096dhttps://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/851163391722021AJ....162..144AFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICA
