Caption: Figure 7.

The NIR spectrum of RW Cep made during the dimming event (from APO; shown in black) compared to an archival spectrum associated with normal brightness (from the IRTF Spectral Library; shown in dark gray). A model BT-Dusty spectrum is shown (light gray) with an offset of −0.5 × 10−11 erg s−1 cm−2 Å−1 (see Section 4). All the spectra are rebinned to a resolving power of R = 1000 for ease of comparison.
