- Description:
- We present 2um (K band) spectra of 180 well-studied, optically visible, luminous stars. Most of the stars are of OB spectral type, but we have also included a number of Oe and Be stars, OBN and OBC stars, cool hypergiant stars, and high-mass X-ray binary stars. Our aim in studying normal OB stars is to develop an empirical relationship between 2um spectral features of these massive stars and their stellar temperature and luminosity. We find the system of lines between 2.0 and 2.2um is particulary good for differentiating the early- and mid-O type stars. In the late-O and early-B stars, differentiation becomes more difficult, as the features show only moderate changes. We have developed a spectral classification system for the K band to be used to estimate effective temperatures of O and early-B stars. We demonstrate that K-band spectroscopy is superior in estimating the temperature of hot, luminous stars than the traditional methods of using infrared or even optical photometric colors alone. The only requirements are that adequate resolution (R>1000) and signal-to-noise (S/N~70) be achieved. With our classification system, stars behind large amounts of visible extinction, such as young, heavily reddened H II regions throughout our Galaxy, may be identified and studied for the first time through 2um spectroscopy. Emission lines are commonly seen in the K-band spectra of supergiant stars, however, the OBN supergiants, which have a higher ratio of some processed materials at their surface, may be more likely to show line emission, especially the He I singlet transition at 2.058um. This has led us to propose an evolutionary scenario for some of the Galactic center He I emission-line stars, which evokes rotational mixing (Maeder 1987A&A...178..159M; Langer 1992A&A...265L..17L) to explain both the strong line emission and high luminosity of these mysterious sources. We have compared our spectroscopic database with the most recent stellar atmosphere models. We are encouraged by the good match between the model line profiles at 2um of Schaerer et al. (1996A&A...312..475S) and those observed in OB stars. Finally, we include a thorough discussion of the observational and reduction methods employed to obtain the spectra shown in this atlas for the benefit of those wishing to obtain similar, classification-quality, near-infrared spectra.

- Title:
- Atlas of HST STIS spectra of Seyfert galaxies
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/166/498
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a compilation of spectra of 101 Seyfert galaxies obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), covering the UV and/or optical spectral range. Information on all the available spectra have been collected in a Mastertable, which is a very useful tool for anyone interested in a quick glance at the existent STIS spectra for Seyfert galaxies in the HST archive, and it can be recovered electronically. Nuclear spectra of the galaxies have been extracted in windows of 0.2" for an optimized sampling (as this is the slit width in most cases) and combined in order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and provide the widest possible wavelength coverage. These combined spectra are also available electronically, at http://www.if.ufrgs.br/~pat/atlas.htm .

- Title:
- Atlas of 840-880nm spectral region
- Short Name:
- III/217
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This Atlas illustrates the behavior of stars of all spectral types in the near infrared 8400-8800 Angstrom spectral region with a resolution of about one Angstrom. The spectra have been obtained at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence at a dispersion of 33{AA}/mm. A total of 130 spectra (76 of early-type stars published in Paper I, and 54 of late-type stars published in Paper II) are available. They cover the spectral range O to M and different luminosity classes. The Atlas includes also spectra of stars with spectral peculiarities: 19 from Paper I and 11 from Paper II.

- Title:
- Atlas of Optical Spectral Classification OB Stars
- Short Name:
- III/195
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The Atlas provides digital spectra to assist the classification of OB spectra for 78 standard objects in the wavelength range 395.0-475.0 nm. Spectral types range from O3 - B3 (-B8 at Ia). The Atlas provides contemporary digital data comparable to the earlier printed Atlasses by Morgan et al. (1943), Abt et al. (1968), Yamashita et al. (1977) and Morgan et al. (1978). The digital data were obtained with the Shectman/Heathcote two- dimensional, photon-counting detector on the Casegrain spectrograph at the CTIO 1-meter telescope during October 1988 and March 1989. The 3-pixel resolution is 1.5 Angstroem, and the full wavelength coverage is 3800-5000 A. The data were extracted and rectified by using a uniform template followed by a low-order spine fit.

- Title:
- Atlas of Quasar Energy Distributions
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/95/1
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present an atlas of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of normal, non-blazar, quasars over the whole available range (radio to 10 keV X-rays) of the electromagnetic spectrum. The primary (UVSX) sample includes 47 quasars for which the spectral energy distributions include X-ray spectral indices and UV data. Of these, 29 are radio quiet, and 18 are radio loud. The SEDs are presented both in figures and in tabular form, with additional tabular material published on CD-ROM. Previously unpublished observational data for a second set of quasars excluded from the primary sample are also tabulated. The effects of host galaxy starlight contamination and foreground extinction on the UVSX sample are considered and the sample is used to investigate the range of SED properties. Of course, the properties we derive are influenced strongly by the selection effects induced by quasar discovery techniques. We derive the mean energy distribution (MED) for radio-loud and radio-quiet objects and present the bolometric corrections derived from it. We note, however, that the dispersion about this mean is large (~one decade for both the infrared and ultraviolet components when the MED is normalized at the near-infrared inflection). At least part of the dispersion in the ultraviolet may be due to time variability, but this is unlikely to be important in the infrared. The existence of such a large dispersion indicates that the MED reflects only some of the properties of quasars and so should be used only with caution.

- Title:
- Atlas of Radio/X-ray associations (ARXA)
- Short Name:
- V/134
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- An all-sky comprehensive catalogue of calculated radio and X-ray associations to optical objects is presented. Included are X-ray sources from XMM-Newton, Chandra and ROSAT catalogues, radio sources from NVSS, FIRST and SUMSS catalogues, and optical data, identifications and redshifts from the APM, USNO-A, SDSS-DR7 and the extant literature. This "Atlas of Radio/X-ray Associations" inherits many techniques from the predecessor Quasars.org catalog (Flesch 2004, Cat. J/A+A/427/387), but object selection is changed and processing tweaked. Optical objects presented are those which are calculated with 40% confidence to be associated with radio/X-ray detections, totalling 602570 objects in all, including 23681 double radio lobe detections. For each of these optical objects I display the calculated percentage probabilities of its being a QSO, galaxy, star, or erroneous radio / X-ray association, plus any identification from the literature. The catalogue includes 105568 uninvestigated objects listed as 40% to >99% likely to be a QSO. The catalogue is available at http://quasars.org/arxa.htm .
1370. Atlas of Stellar Spectra
- ID:

- Title:
- Atlas of Stellar Spectra
- Short Name:
- III/44
- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- There are exactly 8192 spectral elements (points) in each spectrum, regularly spaced in terms of frequency. The first point corresponds to spectral frequency 0, while point number 8193 (not included) corresponds to the laser frequency. The 632.8nm laser frequency was doubled, producing an effective laser wavelength of about 316.4nm. Tentatively, it may be assumed that the exact laser wavelength is 316.43nm. The spectra have been normalized so that the bluest stars are approximately level from 480 to 1000nm. The spectra are linear in intensity with zero intensity at tabulated zero. It was not possible to make satisfactory atmospheric extinction corrections throughout all of the atmospheric bands; at places where corrections could not be made, the spectra were set (exactly) to zero. Some of these spectra have been published already (H.L. Johnson, Rev. Mex. Astron. Astrof. 2, 71, 1977); the remainder will be published soon (Rev. Mex. Astron. Astrofis., 4, 3). These published spectral plots contain in graphical form the information needed to evaluate the signal-to-noise ratios of the spectra on this tape. (From Harold L. Johnson, Dec. 13, 1977)
