With this program we intend to put together a high resolution (R ~ 10000) spectral atlas of stars in the Yale Bright Star Catalog. The collection of spectra will be available through an online web site. This collection is intended to be useful as a tool for teaching spectroscopy and encouraging the study and monitoring of the brightest stars in the night sky, many of which we know very little about.
The following are a list of stars that we have observed at this program across the optical range at R ~ 10,000. We do not yet have these all available for download, but the spectra are available by contacting John Martin.
