We have obtained low resolution infrared spectra of 21 brown dwarf candidates, selected from a survey performed at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The spectra were obtained at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (La Palma), using the NICS spectrometer in the Amici configuration, which allows to observe the range 0.85–2.45 μm in a single shot. The bands shown by most of the spectra confirm that we are dealing with low effective temperature objects. Preliminary results of spectral classification are presented.
