Spectral type vs. T_eff comparison. Large markers represent the best-model T_eff values, presented in Figure 8. Smaller markers indicate the T_eff solutions from all other grids, and gray points show the T_eff predictions from evolutionary models. Companions in our sample are highlighted with square markers, and isolated targets are marked with circles. The black curve and gray area represent the relationship determined by Filippazzo et al. (2015) for field brown dwarfs.
