Bright Star Spectroscopic Catalog

Bright Star Spectroscopic Catalog Project

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.

Cataloged Stars

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.
