J. Suppl. Ser. 56, 278. (1984ApJS...56..257J) Spectrophotometry 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.

Name Star identification (HD, BD, SAO, misc.) Positions with variable precision derived from SIMBAD. The following four stars could not be identified, and have the RA and Dec columns blank: TR A 14 (G4 V star) HD 249240 (G7 III star), the HD classifies this star as A2. The star could be HD 24924 (K0 star, Vmag=9.39, at 03 57 35.5 -01 58 30 (2000)).

There are 400 lines of fluxes for each star. Hence, L is the line number in the file, modulo 400. In the final record for each star, the seventh flux on the record appears blank. 10mW/m2/nm Julie Anne Watko SSDOO/ADC Francois Ochsenbein CDS 1998Oct06Documentation for the original version was written by Wayne H. Warren, Jr. [NSSDC/WDC-A-R&S] November 1984. This ReadMe file is a revision of Dr. Warren's original document and an Intro document [CDS] 24-May-1993 to the current CDS standard. UNKNOWN UNKNOWN * 24-May-1993 [CDS] The original data pertaining to each star were contained in a group of 352 data records. The first two (header) records contained general information about the star, such as identification, spectral type, UBV colors and reddening, intrinsic UBV colors, and wavelength information. Records 3-352 contained 2799 flux values in groups of eight fluxes per record. The original file can easily be rebuilt by splitting each record in 352 80-bytes records; this split is straightforward on Unix workstations with the "fold" command. * 23-Aug-1996 Julie Anne Watko [SSDOO/ADC] The previous version of this catalog contained all data for each star on a single record. To provide a more useful lrecl, the long records were folded into 70-byte records using the Unix fold command. J.A. Watko [ADC] used IDL to insert star identification into the first 10 bytes of each record and to create a separate file of header data. * 06-Oct-1998 [CDS] Positions of the stars were added when possible --- four stars could not be recognized.
