I came across this stellar spectral library as a reference in a recently published paper. It is one I have not come across before.

It contains flux-calibrated spectra of 161 stars with spectral types O to M and luminosity classes I, III and V. Spectra have a resolution of ~4A and are corrected for interstellar reddening. It contains some spectral types missing in the Pickles library. The spectra can be downloaded from this website http://www.stsci.edu/hst/observatory/crds/jc.html

There is a publication about the library at http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1984ApJS...56..257J

Hi David, Olivier,

How do you download the spectra? I could not get the ftp server linked there to respond.

Thanks

Hi Robin,

There is a link at the bottom of the page I sent you which takes you to a page where you can download the individual spectra as ascii and fits files. You need to start from that page to know which spectrum is which.

Thanks David,

That is the link that was not responding when I tried it a few times yesterday. It is working again now though

Cheers
