... Physical conditions in the observable atmosphere of the brown dwarf Gl 229B are intermediate between those found in a giant planet atmosphere, such as Jupiter's, and a stellar atmosphere. In one important respect, however, Gl 229B shares kinship with giant planet atmospheres: temperatures in the observable atmosphere are cool enough that the gas is essentially completely molecular. ... The carbon monoxide (CO) 1-0 fundamental also falls in this spectrum interval. ...
