1. Absolute Calibration of Stellar Spectrophotometry
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/II/85
Title:
Absolute Calibration of Stellar Spectrophotometry
Short Name:
II/85
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The catalog contains the absolute fluxes for 16 stars published in Tables 1 and 2 of Johnson (1980). The absolute calibrations were accomplished by combining the 13-color photometry calibrations of Johnson and Mitchell (1975) with spectra obtained with a Michelson spectrophotometer and covering the wavelength range 4000 to 10300 Angstroms (Johnson 1977). The agreement between the absolute calibration and another recent one based upon data for alpha Lyr and 109 Vir by Tug et al. (1977) is shown (Johnson 1980) to be quite good. The catalog includes star name, cross identifications to the numbering systems of the Bright Star Catalogue and The Henry Draper Catalogue and arrays of fluxes having the same number of elements for each of the 16 stars.
2. Absolute flux distribution of BD +17 4708

Description:
Secondary flux standards are established by measuring their brightness relative to primary standard stars. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) primary standards are the three pure-hydrogen white dwarf (WD) flux standards that determine the sensitivity calibration for the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph. STIS observations have defined the flux of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS, http://www.sdss.org) standard BD+17 4708 from 0.17 to 1.0{mu}m with an uncertainty of less than 0.5% relative to the HST primary standards, as verified by two independent sets of photometry.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
In this investigation, a technique developed by Spinrad and Taylor for obtaining metal abundances of late-type stars, and used by them in an earlier investigation of evolved stars (see Cat. II/47), is applied to field dwarfs in the solar vicinity and to the Hyades. The colors determined from photoelectric spectrum-scanner observations are listed in the "raw_data.dat" file; the derived blocking factors are given in the "blocking.dat" file. These results were published as the Table 5 of the paper.
4. ALHAMBRA fields type-I AGN with ELDAR
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/472/2085
Title:
ALHAMBRA fields type-I AGN with ELDAR
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/472/2085
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present ELDAR, a new method that exploits the potential of medium- and narrow-band filter surveys to securely identify active galactic nuclei (AGN) and determine their redshifts. Our methodology improves on traditional approaches by looking for AGN emission lines expected to be identified against the continuum, thanks to the width of the filters. To assess its performance, we apply ELDAR to the data of the ALHAMBRA survey, which covered an effective area of 2.38deg^2^ with 20 contiguous medium-band optical filters down to F814W=24.5. Using two different configurations of ELDAR in which we require the detection of at least 2 and 3 emission lines, respectively, we extract two catalogues of type-I AGN. The first is composed of 585 sources (79% of them spectroscopically-unknown) down to F814W=22.5 at z_phot_>1, which corresponds to a surface density of 209 deg-2. In the second, the 494 selected sources (83% of them spectroscopically-unknown) reach F814W=23 at z_phot_>1.5, for a corresponding number density of 176deg^-2^. Then, using samples of spectroscopically-known AGN in the ALHAMBRA fields, for the two catalogues we estimate a completeness of 73% and 67%, and a redshift precision of 1.01% and 0.86% (with outliers fractions of 8.1% and 5.8%). At z>2, where our selection performs best, we reach 85% and 77% completeness and we find no contamination from galaxies.
5. A Library of Stellar Spectra
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/III/92
Title:
A Library of Stellar Spectra
Short Name:
III/92
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The machine-readable version of the library contains digital spectra of 161 stars of spectral types O through M and luminosity classes I, III, and V. Most stars are of solar metallicity, although two were chosen specifically for low metallicity. The data were obtained with the Intensified Reticon Scanner on the #1 91-cm telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. The scans cover the wavelength range 3510-7427 angstroms, with a resolution of approximately 4.5 angstroms, while the typical photometric uncertainty of each resolution element is about 1 percent and broadband variations are < 3 percent.

9. A standard stellar library
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+AS/125/229
Title:
A standard stellar library
Short Name:
J/A+AS/125/229
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The present library provides an extensive and homogeneous grid of low-resolution theoretical flux distributions for a large range of stellar parameters : Teff=50,000K to K, logg=5.50 to -1.02 and [M/H]=-5.0 to +1.0. The library has been constructed from different grids of blanketed stellar atmosphere models (Bessell et al. (1989A&AS...77....1B, 1991A&AS...89..335B), Fluks et al. (1994, Cat. <J/A+AS/105/311>), Kurucz (1995, priv. comm.), Allard & Hauschildt (1995ApJ...445..433A). The models described in the accompanying paper (Lejeune et al. (1997A&AS..125..229L) are given here as part of a more extensive data set including M dwarf model spectra, which will be presented in a forthcoming paper (Lejeune et al., 1998, Cat. <J/A+AS/130/65>). A correction procedure has been applied to the theoretical energy in order to calibrate fluxes on empirical-temperature relations (see also Lejeune et al., 1998, Cat. <J/A+AS/130/65>). The library is given here in its two versions : the first one (files *.ori) containing the "original" flux distributions -- as given by the original grids of atmosphere models --, but rebinned on a common wavelength scale (see also Leitherer et al. 1996PASP..108..996L) and the second one (files *.cor) which provides the "corrected" flux distributions. Each version of the library contains an ASCII file of models for each of the 19 values of the metallicity ([M/H]=-5.0, -4.5, -4.0, -3.5, -3.0, -2.5, -2.0, -1.5, -1.0, -0.5, -0.3, -0.2, -0.1, 0.0, +0.1, +0.2, +0.3, +0.5 and +1.0), named as lcbxxx.yyy, where xxx designates the metallicity (ex: 'm15' --> [M/H]=-1.5), and yyy identifies the library version. For each model (out of the total of 8315 models), a flux spectrum is given for the (same) set of 1221 wavelength points covering the range 9.1 to 160000 nm, with a mean resolution of 10{AA} in the UV and 20{AA} in the visible. In addition to the 19 metallicity files, two individual files originating from the Kurucz (1991, in Precision Photometry: Astrophysics of the Galaxy, Davis Philip A.G., Upgren A.R. & Janes K.A. (eds.). Schenectady, NY, L. Davis Press, Inc., 1991, pp. 27-44)) models are given, lcbsun.ori and lcbvega.ori, which provide theoretical flux distributions for the Sun and Vega respectively.
10. A Stellar Spectral Flux Library: 1150 - 25000 A

Title:
A Stellar Spectral Flux Library: 1150 - 25000 A
Short Name:
J/PASP/110/863
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Available published spectra have been combined to form a library of digital stellar spectra spanning 1150 - 25000 A with a sampling interval of 5 A and a resolution of ~500. The library was constructed to enable synthesis and modeling of the integrated light from composite populations. The library consists of 131 flux-calibrated spectra, encompassing all normal spectral types and luminosity classes at solar abundance, plus metal-weak and metal-rich F-K dwarfs and G-K giants. Each library spectrum was formed by combining data from several sources overlapping in wavelength coverage. The data sources are listed in file srclist.doc, and the specific components used to form each spectrum are identified in file complist.doc. The library has complete spectral coverage from 1150 - 10620 A for all spectra and to 25000 A for about half of them, mainly later types of solar abundance. Missing spectral coverage in the infrared consists of a smooth energy distribution formed from standard colors for the relevant types. The library spectra are each given as normalized F(lambda) vs. wavelength in A: each spectrum is normalized to 1.0 at 5556 A. Spectra are organized in two groups of 131 files each; the files are named according to the spectral type, luminosity class and metallicity. The first group of files, designated UVILIB, contains the final combined spectra from 1150 - 11620 A. The second set of files, UVKLIB, extends the UVILIB spectra out to 25000 A, as described above. The data files contain the wavelength, normalized flux and standard deviation for the final combined spectrum in the first three columns. Subsequent columns contain the normalized flux for component spectra which were used to make the final spectrum. Columns which contain these component spectra are labelled according to a code which specifies the source of that spectrum (see complist.doc for more detail) -- UVILIB component codes Code Occasional Alternate Reference source Codes fsv Sviderskiene 1988, Cat. <VI/50> fi (IUE) Heck et al. 1984, Cat. <III/83> fg Gunn & Stryker 1983, Cat. <III/88> fk Kiehling 1987, Cat. <III/124> fj Jacoby, Hunter & Christian 1984, Cat. <III/92> fs Silva & Cornell 1992, Cat. <III/166> fp Pickles 1985, Cat. <VII/102> fn (N6522) Pickles & van der Kruit 1990 (1990A&AS...84..421P) fr fr1, fr2 Serote Roos, Boisson & Joly 1996, Cat. <J/A+AS/117/93> fd fdd1, fdd2; fd3, fd4 Danks & Dennefeld 1994 (1994PASP..106..382D) UVKLIB component codes Code Reference source fh spectrum from UVILIB fse interpolated spectrum based on standardized flux points fl Lancon & Rocca-Volmerange 1992, Cat. <III/196> fd Dallier, Boisson & Joly 1996, Cat. <J/A+AS/116/239> fk Kleinmann & Hall 1986 (1986ApJS...62..501K) fc Cohen et al.

(1994), and are a combination of these and the UVILIB spectra in the range 1150-10620A. M0-M8 III are the only cases where the 1150-10500A data differ between UVILIB and UVKLIB. M9 and M10 III spectra are exclusively synthetic spectra from Fluks et. al. (1994) in both libraries. In addition to the spectrum library itself, synthetic photometry and selected local equivalent widths & magnitude indices are provided in tables synphot.dat and lew.dat. The standard infrared colors used to form the smooth energy curves used in UVKLIB spectra are listed in irstphot.dat. Further documentation details are available in the *.doc files as described below in the table notes in this ReadMe.
