According to The Java Language Specification, §15.8.3, "this" [JLS 2015]:

When used as a primary expression, the keyword this denotes a value that is a reference to the object for which the instance method was invoked (§15.12), or to the object being constructed....

The type of this is the class or interface type T within which the keyword this occurs....

At run time, the class of the actual object referred to may be T, if T is a class type, or a class that is a subtype of T.
