To establish upper limits on temperature, we used a Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm to fit the co-added tiger stripes spectrum to the spectrum of the interstripe region with the use of a multiplicative albedo-surrogate scaling factor and surface temperature as free parameters. The best fit temperature is indistinguishable from 0 K. We then increased the temperature of either the full pixel or a linear swath through the pixel until the quality of the fit degraded to the 3σ level and used that value for the upper limit.
