Empirical power-law limb-darkening coefficients as a function of wavelength within the broad H and K bands. Panel (a) shows the offsets between the lower- and higher-wavelength H-band fits and the full-H fit; panel (b) shows the analogous offsets for K. Circles show individual targets, and diamonds show median residuals in broad Teff bins, with error bars spanning the 16th–84th percentile range. The split-band fits provide an internal check on wavelength sensitivity within each passband.
