Description


This data set is a subset of ultraviolet stellar spectra comprising the highest quality data obtained with both spectrometers aboard the OAO 2. The first file of the data set contains ultraviolet stellar fluxes for 164 bright stars in the spectral range between 1200 to 1300 A, with resolutions of about 22 A in the region from 3600 to 1850 A and about 12 A in the region from 1850 to 1160 A. Files 2 and 3 contain spectra for 132 stars in the region 1200-1850 A and 34 stars in the region 1800-3600 A, respectively, with resolutions as stated above. The data have been published in graphical and tabular form by A.D. Code and M.R. Meade, Astrophys. J. Suppl., v. 39, p. 195, 1979; M.R. Meade and A.D. Code, Astrophys. J. Suppl., v. 42, p. 283, 1980.
