Notes. Spectral types as estimated from visual inspection (top two sections) and spectral indices (bottom).

(a)

Average for a spectral library, weighted by the inverse variance.

(b)

These measurements do not enter our final spectral type estimate because the FeH index does not cover the entire range of interest for HD 106906 b (valid only for M3–L3; Slesnick et al. 2004) and H2OD is based on data that are strongly affected by residuals from the telluric correction (1.96–2.08 μm; McLean et al. 2003).
