Observed spectrum of HD 142527 A after telluric and instrumental response corrections (blue curve). The yellow curve corresponds to the combination of a BT-SETTL model (T = 6500 K, log(g) = 4.0; black curve) and a black body of 1650 K (green dashed curve) representative of the hot inner disk rim. Blanks in the SINFONI spectrum correspond to spectral channels where telluric lines were poorly corrected, and are therefore discarded for the rest of the analysis.
