+Brown Atlas
+===========
+
+The ``$PYSYN_CDBS/grid/brown`` directory contains 129 spectral energy
+distributions for nearby galaxies, with wavelength coverage spanning from the
+ultraviolet to the mid-infrared
+(:ref:`Brown et al. 2014 <synphot-ref-brown2014>`). See
+`TRDS Brown Atlas <http://www.stsci.edu/hst/instrumentation/reference-data-for-calibration-and-tools/astronomical-catalogs/the-trds-brown-atlas>`_
+for more details.
