Fundamental parameters and spectral energy distributions of young and field age objects with masses spanning the stellar to planetary regime
We combine optical, near-infrared, and mid-infrared spectra and photometry to construct
expanded spectral energy distributions for 145 field age (> 500 Myr) and 53 young (lower …
