Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:
The International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) performed spectrophotometry at high (0.1-0.3 Å) and low (6-7 Å) resolution between 1150 Å and 3200 Å. The data cover a dynamic range of approximately 17 astronomical magnitudes: -2 to 10 for high dispersion; -2 and 14.9 for low dispersion. Over 104,000 ultraviolet spectra were obtained with IUE between January 26, 1978, and September 30, 1996.
4. IUE Atlas of B-Type Stellar Spectra
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/III/188
Title:
IUE Atlas of B-Type Stellar Spectra
Short Name:
III/188
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The IUE Atlas of B-type Stellar Spectra is an atlas of B-type spectra consisting of short-wavelength, high-resolution data from the International Ultraviolet Explorer archive, designed to complement the widely used O-star atlas from the same source (Walborn, Nichols-Bohlin, & Panek 1985, NASA Reference Publication 1155, catalog <III/115>). The atlas presented here completes the OB natural group, i.e., to spectral type B3 for the main sequence and giants, type B5 at class Ib, and B8 at Ia, which is also the most relevant domain for stellar-wind effects among normal B-type spectra.
5. IUE Atlas of O-Type Stellar Spectra
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/III/115
Title:
IUE Atlas of O-Type Stellar Spectra
Short Name:
III/115
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The International Ultraviolet Explorer Atlas of O-Type Spectra From 1200 to 1900 A (Walborn et el. 1985) lists normalized fluxes and flux quality factors, splice points, and identifying information (star name/number, spectral type, SWP number, and name of the principal investigator) on 101 spectrograms of 98 O-type stars. The primary purpose of this work is to investigate the existence of systematic trends in the ultraviolet line spectra of the O stars, including the prominent stellar wind features, and the degree to which they correlate with the optical spectral classifications. A subsidiary objective is to identify ultraviolet features which may themselves prove useful as classifications criteria.
6. IUE atlas of pre-main-sequence stars
ID:

Title:
IUE atlas of pre-main-sequence stars
Short Name:
J/ApJS/147/305
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We identified 137 T Tauri stars (TTS) and 97 Herbig Ae/Be (HAEBE) stars observed by IUE in the wavelength interval 1900-3200{AA}. Each low-resolution (R~6{AA}) spectrum was visually inspected for source contamination and data quality, and then all usable spectra were combined to form a single time averaged spectrum for each star. For sources with multiple observations, we characterized variability and compared with previously published amplitudes at shorter wavelengths. We combined several co-added spectra of diskless TTS to produce a pair of intrinsic stellar spectra unaffected by accretion. We then fitted spectra of TTS with the reddened sum of an intrinsic spectrum and a schematic veiling continuum, measuring emission line fluxes from the residuals. We used extinction and distance estimates from the literature to convert measured Mg II line fluxes into intrinsic line luminosities, noting that the IUE detection limit introduces a sample bias such that intrinsic line luminosity is correlated with extinction. This sample bias complicates any physical interpretation of TTS intrinsic luminosities. We measured extinction toward HAEBE stars by fitting our co-added IUE spectra with reddened spectra of main-sequence stars and also from V band minus 3000{AA} color excess. We measured excess line emission and absorption in spectra of HAEBE stars divided by fitted spectra of main-sequence stars, noting that HAEBE stars with an infrared excess indicating circumstellar material typically also have anomalous UV line strengths. In the latter situation, Mg II is usually shallower than in a main-sequence star of the same spectral class, whereas Fe II lines are equally likely to be deeper or shallower. Our co-added spectra of TTS, HAEBE stars, and main-sequence templates are available electronically, in FITS and ASCCI format, at http://archive.stsci.edu/prepds/iuepms/ .
7. IUE echelle spectra of hot white dwarfs

Title:
IUE echelle spectra of hot white dwarfs
Short Name:
J/ApJS/119/207
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This paper summarizes the results obtained from a comprehensive analysis of all of the SWP echelle spectra of the white dwarf stars contained in the IUE Final Archive. A total of 209 NEWSIPS spectra of 55 degenerate stars of various types have been systematically reduced and analyzed. These include, in addition to conventional white dwarfs, several examples of the hot planetary nebula central stars such as NGC 246, which represent the initial stages of He-rich degenerate evolution. A representative summary of the stellar, circumstellar, and interstellar features found to be present in these spectra is presented. For 33 of the 55 stars, multiple spectra of sufficient quality exist so that co-added spectra with improved signal-to-noise ratio can be constructed. Much previously unrecognized detail and many new features are evident in these data. In addition, it was found necessary to apply several corrections to the NEWSIPS extracted spectra. These corrections, involving the wavelength scale and flux uncertainty vector, are described.

Title:
IUE (International Ultraviolet Explorer) Final Merged Observation Log
Short Name:
IUE
Date:

Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
This IUE (International Ultraviolet Explorer) Observation Log contains a summary of all IUE Newly Extracted Spectra (INES), which resulted from a post-processing effort at VILSPA. It was constructed by using verified data from the IUE Final Archive Master Catalog. The observations cover the whole life of the IUE satellite, from March 1978 to September 1996. This online catalog was ingested by the HEASARC in August 2004 based on the machine-readable table VI/110/inescat.dat obtained from the CDS data center. In May 2020, the program_id values of &quot;\&quot; were changed by the HEASARC to nulls for improved database compatibility. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
9. IUE Low-Dispersion Reference Atlas I, Normal Stars
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/III/83
Title:
IUE Low-Dispersion Reference Atlas I, Normal Stars
Short Name:
III/83
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The atlas contains the fluxes (2 angstroms/step) of 229 low-dispersion stellar spectra collected by the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) satellite, compiled for the purpose of establishing reference spectral sequences in the ultraviolet range. The sequences have been constructed and the standard stars selected directly from the ultraviolet material, staying as far as possible within the general MK frame. The catalog is essentially composed of stars exhibiting normal behaviour in the ultraviolet. A few peculiar objects have, however, been included as an illustration of typical abnormalities. This work clearly pointed out the dangers of extrapolating a spectral classification based on a given wavelength range to another one, and, in particular, of using the MK spectral type alone outside its definition range.
10. IUE low-dispersion spectra of white dwarfs
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/147/145
Title:
IUE low-dispersion spectra of white dwarfs
Short Name:
J/ApJS/147/145
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We have produced an archive of the ultraviolet low-dispersion spectra for the full set of white dwarf stars observed with the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) satellite over the course of its 18-yr mission. This archive contains the spectra of 322 individual degenerate stars which have been processed to optimize the signal-to- noise for each star. In particular, all spectra have been corrected for residual temporal and thermal effects and placed on the Hubble Space Telescope Faint Object Spectrograph absolute flux scale using procedures described by Massa & Fitzpatrick (2000ApJS..126..517M). Wherever possible, multiple observations of individual stars have been co-added to further enhance signal-to-noise and have been combined into a single spectrum including the full 1150 to 3150{AA} wavelength region observed by IUE. The contents of this spectral archive are described and the details of data reduction procedures are provided. The electronic files of the processed spectra are available, in FITS and ASCII formats, with the associated log file, at http://vega.lpl.arizona.edu/newsips/low/
