The ratio of He i 21126 to Brγ (reddening free or intrinsic) for a grid of Cloudy ionization models is shown in color and with solid contours. The red solid contour is the observed value (0.037, corrected for A K = 2 and shown with two other contours corresponding to ±0.5 mag of extinction). The dashed contours are the results from the same models for the ratio of Brγ (again corrected for 2 ± 0.5 mag of extinction) to the total dust emission. The observed dust emission is taken from the spectral energy distribution presented by Feldt et al. (1998); see the text. The intersection of the observed values for the two contour families is consistent with the expectation of the T eff from the infrared spectral types of sources "m" and "n."
