Of the brown dwarfs that were found in the brown-dwarf desert, most were found in multiple systems, suggesting that binarity was a key factor in the creation of brown-dwarf desert inhabitants.For the brown dwarf article, I intend to add under the section entitled "Binary brown dwarfs". I want to add the following paragraph to the end of the section:

Spectroscopy can be used to identify binary brown dwarf systems. If a brown dwarf's spectrum does not match the spectrum for any singular brown dwarf, the brown dwarf may actually be two brown dwarfs, which have combined their light together to make a unique spectrum. Observed spectra for newly discovered brown dwarfs can be compared to known spectra for other brown dwarfs or to atmospheric models which are based on certain parameters, such as temperature and surface gravity.
