spectral library of 1000 stars at 2.5A resolution

Post by Robin Leadbeater »

Has anyone used the MILES catalogue of flux calibrated spectra?
http://miles.iac.es/pages/stellar-libra ... alogue.php
It looks quite udeful for medium resolution work as it contains almost 1000 stars at 2.5 A resolution but I cannot get VSpec or ISIS to read the fits files. (SPLAT will plot it against pixel number but does not give the wavelength)

Cheers
Robin

***IMPORTANT NOTE***

The default spectra in the MILES library are corrected for interstellar extinction so cannot be used for Instrument response correction. The original as observed MILES spectra must be used. See

Excellent Robin, very useful data base (ideal for LISA spectrograph, but can be also used for RI evaluation of Lhires III spectra) !

Download the very latest ISIS release (V3.4.2), you now read Miles FITS files :

You can now directly consult the majority of MILES library base under
ISIS solution (V3.4.3) :
