- Description:
- We have obtained spectra for 1273 stars using the 0.9m coude feed telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. This telescope feeds the coude spectrograph of the 2.1m telescope. The spectra have been obtained with the No.5 camera of the coude spectrograph and a Loral 3Kx1K CCD. Two gratings have been used to provide spectral coverage from 3460 to 9464{AA}, at a resolution of ~1{AA} FWHM and at an original dispersion of 0.44{AA}/pix. For 885 stars we have complete spectra over the entire 3460 to 9464{AA} wavelength region (neglecting small gaps of less than 50{AA}), and partial spectral coverage for the remaining stars. The 1273 stars have been selected to provide broad coverage of the atmospheric parameters T_eff_, logg, and [Fe/H], as well as spectral type. The goal of the project is to provide a comprehensive library of stellar spectra for use in the automated classification of stellar and galaxy spectra and in galaxy population synthesis. In this paper we discuss the characteristics of the spectral library, viz., details of the observations, data reduction procedures, and selection of stars. We also present a few illustrations of the quality and information available in the spectra. The first version of the complete spectral library is now publicly available from the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) via ftp and http, at http://www.noao.edu/cflib .

- IUE Atlas of B-Type Stellar Spectra
- Short Name:

- 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.

- 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.

- IUE echelle spectra of hot white dwarfs
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/119/207
- Date:

- 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.

- IUE low-dispersion spectra of white dwarfs
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/147/145
- Date:

- 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/

- Leiden/Argentine/Bonn (LAB) Survey of Galactic HI
- Short Name:
- VIII/76
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The LAB survey contains the final data release of observations of 21-cm emission from Galactic neutral hydrogen over the entire sky, merging the Leiden/Dwingeloo Survey (LDS: Hartmann & Burton 1997, Cat. VIII/54) of the sky north of -30{deg} with the Instituto Argentino de Radioastronomia Survey (IAR: Arnal et al. 2000A&AS..142...35A and Bajaja et al. 2005, Cat. VIII/75) of the sky south of -25{deg}. The angular resolution of the combined material is HPBW ~ 0.6{deg}. The LSR velocity coverage spans the interval -450 km/s to +400 km/s, at a resolution of 1.3km/s. The data were corrected for stray radiation at the Institute for Radioastronomy of the University of Bonn, refining the original correction applied to the LDS. The rms brightness-temperature noise of the merged database is 0.07-0.09 K. Residual errors in the profile wings due to defects in the correction for stray radiation are for most of the data below a level of 20-40 mK. It would be necessary to construct a telescope with a main beam efficiency of {eta}MB>99% to achieve the same accuracy. The merged and refined material entering the LAB Survey of Galactic H I is intended to be a general resource useful to a wide range of studies of the physical and structural characteristices of the Galactic interstellar environment. The LAB Survey is the most sensitive Milky Way H I survey to date, with the most extensive coverage both spatially and kinematically. The Survey is available as 3-D maps, with or without Hanning smoothing, covering the whole +/-458km/s or limited to +/-250km/s range. The resolution of the 3-D maps is 0.5{deg} in galactic longitude and latitude, and up to 1km/s in velocity. The survey exists also as (b,v) maps at longitude intervals stepped by 0.5{deg} -- these files supersedes the FITS files given in the Hartmann and Burton Atlas (Cat. VIII/54)

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a complete library of synthetic spectra based on Kurucz's codes that covers the 2500-10500{AA} wavelength range at resolving powers R_P_=20000, 11500 (=GAIA), 8500 (=RAVE), 2000 (=SLOAN) and uniform dispersions of 1 and 10 {AA}/pix. The library maps the whole HR diagram, exploring 51288 combinations of atmospheric parameters spanning the ranges: 3500<=T_eff_<=47500K, 0.0<=logg<=5.0, -2.5<=[M/H]<=0.5, [{alpha}/Fe]=0.0,+0.4, {xi}=1, 2, 4km/s, 0<=V_rot_<=500km/s. The spectra are available both as absolute fluxes as well as continuum normalized. Performance tests and spectroscopic applications of the library are discussed, including automatic classification of data from spectroscopic surveys like RAVE, SLOAN, GAIA. The entire library of synthetic spectra is accessible via the web.

- Title:
- Library of ELODIE spectra (F5-K7 stars)
- Short Name:
- J/A+AS/133/221
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- A library of 211 echelle spectra taken with ELODIE at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence is proposed. It provides a set of spectroscopic standards covering the full range of gravities and metallicities in the effective temperature interval [4000K, 6300K]. The spectra are straightened, wavelength calibrated, cleaned of cosmic ray hits, bad pixels and telluric lines. They cover the spectral range [440nm, 680nm] with an instrumental resolution of 42000. For each star, basic data were compiled from the Hipparcos catalogue (Cat. <I/239>) and the Hipparcos Input Catalogue (Cat. <I/196>) (Table 1). Radial velocities with a precision better than 100m/s are given. Atmospheric parameters Teff, logg, [Fe/H] from the literature are discussed. Because of scattered determinations in the bibliography, even for the most well-known stars, these parameters were adjusted by an iterative process which takes account of common or different spectral features between the standards, using our homogeneous set of spectra. Revised values of effective temperature, gravity and metallicity are proposed in Table 1. They are still consistent with the literature, and also lead to the self-consistency of the library, in the sense that similar spectra have similar atmospheric parameters. This adjustment was performed by using step by step a method based on the least square comparison of carefully prepared spectra, which was originally developed for the on-line estimation of the atmospheric parameters of faint field stars (Katz et al., 1998A&A...338..151K. Paper I.).

- MEGaSaURA. I. The sample and the spectra
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/155/104
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We introduce Project MEGaSaURA: the Magellan Evolution of Galaxies Spectroscopic and Ultraviolet Reference Atlas. MEGaSaURA comprises medium-resolution, rest-frame ultraviolet spectroscopy of N=15 bright gravitationally lensed galaxies at redshifts of 1.68<z<3.6, obtained with the MagE spectrograph on the Magellan telescopes. The spectra cover the observed-frame wavelength range 3200<{lambda}_o_<8280{AA}; the average spectral resolving power is R=3300. The median spectrum has a signal-to- noise ratio (S/N)=21 per resolution element at 5000{AA}. As such, the MEGaSaURA spectra have superior S/N and wavelength coverage compared to what COS/HST provides for starburst galaxies in the local universe. This paper describes the sample, the observations, and the data reduction. We compare the measured redshifts for the stars, the ionized gas as traced by nebular lines, and the neutral gas as traced by absorption lines; we find the expected bulk outflow of the neutral gas, and no systemic offset between the redshifts measured from nebular lines and the redshifts measured from the stellar continuum.
