A Calibrated Measurement of the Near-IR Continuum Sky Brightness Using Magellan/FIRE

We characterize the near-IR sky background from 308 observations with the Folded-port InfraRed Echellette (FIRE) spectrograph at Magellan. A subset of 105 observations selected to minimize lunar and thermal effects gives a continuous, median spectrum from 0.83 to 2.5 μ m, which we present in Table 2...
