The first infrared photometry of an L-type brown dwarf, DENIS J0255-4700, includes N-band and narrow-band 8.8-μm detections, with upper limits in narrow-band 10.3 and 11.7 μm. Model-independent blackbody fits of existing data yield Teff = 1250 – 1750 K, with models favoring the lower end of that range. Dusty atmospheric models by Allard, Burrows and Marley which match the near-infrared photometry are not completely consistent with our mid-infrared photometry.
