An extensive library of 2500-10500 Å synthetic spectra
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a complete library of synthetic spectra based on Kurucz’s codes that covers the 2500–10 500 Å wavelength range at resolving powers RP=20 000, 11 500 (≡ GAIA), 8500 (≡ RAVE), 2000 (≡ SLOAN) and uniform dispersions of 1 and 10 Å/pix. The library maps the whole HR diagram, exploring 51 288 combinations of atmospheric parameters spanning the ranges: 3500 ≤ Teff ≤ 47 500 K, 0.0≤ log g ≤ 5.0, −2.5 ≤ [M/H] ≤ 0.5, [α/Fe] = 0.0,+0.4, ξ =1,2,4 km sec−1, 0 ≤ Vrot ≤ 500 km sec−1. The spectra are available both as absolute fluxes as well as continuum normalized. Foreseen applications of the library are briefly discussed, including automatic classification of data from spectroscopic surveys (like RAVE, SLOAN, GAIA) and calibration of differential photometric indexes. Data distribution and access to the library via dedicated web page are outlined.

Grids of synthetic spectra for the GAIA mission
Two sets of grids of Kurucz ATLAS 9 model spectra are presented. The first one covers the GAIA spectral interval, while the second one which is still being computed covers the whole range from 2500 – 10500 Å. Both grids include parameters needed for realistic spectral simulation, e.g. stellar rotation and are computed at R = 20000 and lower spectral resolutions. They can be useful for preparati...
متن کاملA standard stellar library for evolutionary synthesis
A standard library of theoretical stellar spectra intended for multiple synthetic photometry applications including spectral evolutionary synthesis is presented. The grid includes M dwarf model spectra, hence complementing the first library version established in Paper I (Lejeune, Cuisinier & Buser 1997). It covers wide ranges of fundamental parameters: Teff : 50,000 K ∼ 2000 K, log g : 5.5 ∼ -...
متن کاملA standard stellar library for evolutionary synthesis I. Calibration of theoretical spectra
We present a comprehensive hybrid library of synthetic stellar spectra based on three original grids of model atmosphere spectra by Kurucz (1995), Fluks et al. (1994), and Bessell et al. (1989, 1991), respectively. The combined library has been intended for multiple-purpose synthetic photometry applications and was constructed according to the precepts adopted by Buser & Kurucz (1992): (i) to c...

The Library of Babel, described by Jorge Luis Borges, stores an enormous amount of information. The Library exists ab aeterno. Wikipedia, a free online encyclopaedia, becomes a modern analogue of such a Library. Information retrieval and ranking of Wikipedia articles become the challenge of modern society. While PageRank highlights very well known nodes with many ingoing links, CheiRank highlig...
متن کاملAn extensive library of synthetic spectra covering the far red, RAVE and GAIA wavelength ranges
A library of 183 588 synthetic spectra based on Kurucz’s ATLAS9 models is presented for the far red spectral interval (7653 – 8747 Å). It is characterized by 3 500 K ≤ Teff ≤ 47 500 K, 0.0 ≤ log g ≤ 5.0, −3.0 ≤ [M/H] ≤ +0.5, 0 ≤ Vrot ≤ 500 km s−1, ξ = 2 km s−1. The whole grid of spectra is calculated for resolving powers 8 500, 11 500 and 20 000. A section of the grid is also computed for [α/Fe...
