Caption: Figure 11.

A normalized weighted average spectrum of GJ 758 B with weighted error bars, shown together with the expected location of molecular absorption bands in this wavelength range. There is clearly strong absorption of CH₄ in the atmosphere, as expected for a cool T dwarf, while no identification of other molecular species is implied.
