An Atlas of Near Infrared Stellar Spectra

The sample of 73 stars includes a supergiant, giants, dwarfs, and subdwarfs with a chemical abundance range of about -2 to +0.5 dex. Introduction: An Atlas of Stellar Spectra between 2.00 and 2.45 micrometers contains digital spectra for a sample of 73 stars of various temperature classes of F and later, most luminosity classifications, and a range of abundances.

A majority of the spectra were obtained with the UKIRT, while some observations were collected with the Mount Hopkins MMT. The UKIRT provided a 59-point spectrum from 2.004 to 2.451 micrometers and the MMT gave a 30-point spectrum from 2.001 to 2.431 micrometers. This documentation should be used only to supplement the information contained in the source reference, which should be consulted for details regarding the impetus for the work, the selection of standard stars, the observational procedures, and the technique of data reduction.
