Lick/Kast red optical spectrum of LP 890-9 (solid black lines) compared to M5 (dashed magenta line), M6 (solid magenta line), and M7 (dotted magenta line) optical spectral templates from Bochanski et al. (2007). The three spectral templates are offset by a constant to facilitate comparison. Key atomic and molecular spectral features are labelled, and the inset box shows a close-up of the region around the 6563 Å Ha emission line and 6708 Å Li I absorption line (not detected).
