Description
The data file gives the measured Lyman alpha flux or upper limits for 275 stars as derived from IUE spectra. The file is a subset of Table 1 of Landsman and Simon in that when a star had multiple measurements, only the best measurement is included in this table. The spectral types, V and B-V magnitudes in the table are culled from various sources as described in the paper. Most of the measurements are derived from low-dispersion spectra, and those derived from high-dispersion spectra are flagged. Each measurement was assigned a data quality code according to the signal to noise after removal of the diffuse Lyman alpha background emission. -1 - upper limit 1 - good quality 2 - fair quality 3 - poor quality 4 - contains saturated pixels The final column gives the ratio of the Ly alpha flux to the total bolometric flux of the star, determined as described in the paper. A roundoff was applied to the fluxes listed here to give the fluxes listed in Table 1 of Landsman and Simon.
