                                    We report the discovery of EPIC 219388192b, a transiting brown dwarf in
a 5.3 day orbit around a member star of Ruprecht 147, the oldest nearby
open cluster association, which was photometrically monitored by K2
during its Campaign 7. We combine the K2 time-series data with
ground-based adaptive optics imaging and high-resolution spectroscopy to
rule out false positive scenarios and determine the main parameters of
the system. EPIC 219388192b has a radius of {R}{{b}}=0.937+/-
0.032 R Jup and mass of {M}{{b}}=36.84+/- 0.97 M
Jup, yielding a mean density of 59.6+/- 7.6 {{g}}
{{cm}}-3. The host star is nearly a solar twin with mass
{M}\star =1.01+/- 0.04 M ⊙, radius
{R}\star =1.01+/- 0.03 R ⊙, effective
temperature T eff = 5850 ±  85 K, and iron abundance
[Fe/H] = 0.03 ± 0.08 dex. Its age, spectroscopic distance, and
reddening are consistent with those of Ruprecht 147, corroborating its
cluster membership. EPIC 219388192b is the first mature brown dwarf with
precise determinations of mass, radius, and age, and serves as benchmark
for evolutionary models in the substellar regime.

Exoplanetas y Astrobiología
            
    La búsqueda de vida en el Universo se ha visto impulsada por los recientes descubrimientos de planetas alrededor de otras estrellas (los llamados exoplanetas), convirtiéndose en uno de los campos más activos dentro de la Astrofísica moderna. En los últimos años los descubrimientos cada vez más numerosos de nuevos exoplanetas y los últimos avances
