Uniform Forward-modeling Analysis of Ultracool Dwarfs. IV. Benchmarking the Sonora Diamondback and D. Saumon & M. S. Marley (2008) Atmospheric Models Across Late M, L, and T Types with Low-resolution 0.8–2.5 μm Spectroscopy

J-band absolute magnitudes and J − K colors of our sample. Young benchmarks with ages below 300 Myr are shown as blue circles, while those older than 300 Myr are shown in orange. We overlay previously known late M, L, T, and Y dwarfs from the UltracoolSheet (W. M. J. Best et al. 2024); these objects have precise photometry (S/N> 5) and are neither candidate nor resolved binaries.
