Gemini Confirms a Free-Floating Planet

Our observed spectrum of PSO J318.5−22 (black) compared to the forward model with our best fit parameters (red). The median residual of the fit is 0.079 (in normalized Fλ units), which is larger than the median uncertainty (0.048) of our observed spectrum. The rms of the residuals (0.12) indicates systematic uncertainties of ≈10%.
