A collection of model stellar spectra for spectral types B to early-M ?

摘要

Context . Models of stellar spectra are necessary for interpreting light from individual stars, planets, integrated stellar populations, nebulae, and the interstellar medium. Aims . We provide a comprehensive and homogeneous collection of synthetic spectra for a wide range of atmospheric parameters and chemical compositions. Methods . We compile atomic and molecular data from the literature. We adopt the largest and most recent set of ATLAS9 model atmospheres, and use the radiative code ASS ? T. Results. The resulting collection of spectra is made publicly available at medium and high-resolution ( R ≡ λ / δ λ = 10 000, 100 000 and 300 000) spectral grids, which include variations in effective temperature between 3500 K and 30 000 K, surface gravity (0 ≤ log g ≤ 5), and metallicity (?5 ≤ [Fe/H] ≤ +0:5), spanning the wavelength interval 120–6500 nm. A second set of denser grids with additional dimensions, [ α /Fe] and micro-turbulence, are also provided (covering 200–2500 nm). We compare models with observations for a few representative cases.
