Left panel: optical spectrum of SDSS J214911+115345 from SDSS. An example of an early-type, metal-rich, M dwarf. Right panel: image cutout of SDSS J214911+115345 from the SDSS survey. This dwarf star is located in foreground of the known galaxy LEDA 1400473 (G. Paturel et al. 2003). This chance alignment of the stellar object in the SDSS sample with a distant galaxy explains the very red color of the star in the color–magnitude diagram.
