Top: the observed SED for ZTF J0328−1219 including GALEX (purple), Pan-STARRS1 (blue), Gaia eDR3 (green), VHS (orange), and unWISE (red) photometry. The best-fit white dwarf model is plotted in gray, with calculated photometric fluxes in each passband shown with dark-gray squares. The dark- and light-colored error bars show the 1σ and 3σ uncertainties, respectively, for each measurement. We only used the PS1 and Gaia photometry to constrain the white dwarf atmospheric fit, which produces a slightly poorer fit to the VHS and WISE photometry. Bottom: residuals between the observed and model flux values in each passband. We find no evidence for an infrared excess in the WISE W1 and W2 bands within their 3σ uncertainty limits, though a small but significant excess is present in the VHS J band.
