Calibrated M_J vs. spectral type relation for late‐type dwarfs with measured 2MASS J magnitudes and distances from trigonometric parallax determinations. Crosses (types M0–M7) come from the 8 pc sample; plus signs (types M8–T8) are from several sources as described in the text. The triangles represent 2MASS J0559−1404 (T4) and Gl 299B (T6), which are not included in the fit (see text). The solid lines represent our best piecewise linear fit to the data. The square at type M4 is our adopted mean value.
