GNIRS spectrum of WD0137-349

The GNIRS spectrum of WD0137-349 from 1.2 - 2.4 microns compared to a synthetic white dwarf spectrum from a pure-H model atmosphere normalized using the observed V band magnitude (solid line). Also shown are the synthetic white dwarf spectrum combined with spectra of known brown dwarfs scaled to the appropriate distance as follows (dashed lines, top-to-bottom): L0, L6, L8 and T5. Note the telluric water bands between 1.35 - 1.42 microns and 1.8 - 1.95 microns have been omitted.
