If J1249+36 was the companion of a white dwarf, the supernova could have left trace elements that polluted the L subdwarf's atmosphere. Conversely, globular clusters contain stars that all have similar compositional properties, so it may be possible to link the star to a home population that way.
And if neither of those pan out, we may need to look to the Milky Way's satellites, to determine whether this tiny, dim star is a stranger from outside the galaxy, just winking howdy as it passes through.
The discovery was presented at the 224th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society.
