3048B III/48B Spectrophotometric Scans M Breger ApJS 32 7 1976 1976ApJS...32....7B Spectrophotometry This data set contains 937 sets of spectrophotometric observations of stellar continuua made in the 3200-12000A region. The data were transformed to the Hayes and Latham (1975) calibration of Alpha Lyrae. Bandpasses vary between 10 and 100A. An analysis of the errors in the catalog appears in Breger (1976). Note that scans of the southern stars observed by Gutierrez-Moreno et al. (1968) are NOT corrected for the right ascension effects discussed in Breger (1976).

StarName Star name --- Cat Catalogue number, usually a Harvard Revised (HR) = Yale Bright Star (YBS) or Henry Draper (HD) number. --- B-V (B-V) color (B-V) color taken from the Blanko et al. (1970) UBV Catalogue, the Bright Star Catalogue or the original spectrophotometric source. --- Sp Spectral type as taken from the same sources as the B-V color. --- BW Bandpass width used; sometimes two bandpass widths are given and are separated by a slash ( / ) 0.1nm Obscode Observer code - (right justified). --- Num The number(N) of wavelength (0.1nm)- magnitude pairs given. If this is less than the maximum value of 35 the remainder of each logical record is filled with zeroes. --- WaveLen Wavelength 0.1nm Mag Magnitude The magnitude refers to the conventional magnitude per unit frequency. mag C.-H. Joseph Lyu Hughes STX/NASA 1995Jun22 UNKNOWN UNKNOWN The Catalog of Spectrophotometric Scans of Stars (Breger, M. 1976, Ap.J. Supp., 32, 7.) was received in machine-readable form from Dr. S. Parsons (University of Texas) on March 11, 1976. The version as received consisted of a 7-track 800 bpi magnetic tape with two files. The first file contained the analysis program as written for the CDC 6600 computer and the second file represents the original data. The analysis program was then converted to run on the IBM S/360 at NASA/GSFC and the data was processed. Some corrections to the original analysis program had to be made due to the differences in the computers, but since the result of the analysis was a listing of the data as given in the above reference - checks were possible at every step of the analysis. The output was then reformatted so that the data would be in a format that allowed easy access to the data. As the catalogue was checked out, a number of star name errata were noticed.
