P( H)/ A( H) for the 28 sources cross-identified with Slesnick et al. (2004) (filled circle) and Riddick et al. (2007) (open circle). The horizontal line indicates P( H)/ A( H) = 2.9, which corresponds to the assumed maximum value for interstellar polarization. The broken line indicates 0.08 M , which corresponds to the brown dwarf mass limit.
