2MASS J20261584-2943124: AN UNRESOLVED L0.5 + T6 SPECTRAL BINARY

We identify the L dwarf 2MASS J20261584-2943124 as an unresolved spectral binary, based on low-resolution, near-infrared spectroscopy from IRTF/SpeX. The data reveal a peculiar absorption feature at 1.6 μm, previously noted in the spectra of other very low-mass spectral binaries, which likely arises...
