Atlas of Stellar Spectra

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

There are exactly 8192 spectral elements (points) in each spectrum, regularly spaced in terms of frequency.

Description

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.
