Left: Gemini-North GMOS spectrum for WD1, isolating the first four Balmer lines (black). The DA atmospheric model (Tremblay et al. 2011) fit is superimposed in solid red. Right: Photometric fit of WD1 using available Galex and Pan-STARRS photometry with 1σ error bars (blue). Black lines shows the synthetic spectrum computed from the best fit, with synthetic photometry shown in red.
