Abstract:
We present Lick spectral indices for a complete sample of 139
candidate super-metal-rich stars of different luminosity classes (MK
type from I to V). For 91 of these stars we were able to identify, in
an accompanying paper, the fundamental atmosphere parameters. This
confirms that at least 2/3 of the sample consists of stars with [Fe/H]
in excess of +0.1 dex. Optical indices for both observations and
fiducial synthetic spectra have been calibrated to the Lick system
according to Worthey et al. (1994, Cat. <J/ApJS/94/687>) and include
the Fe I indices of Fe5015, Fe5270, and Fe5335 and the Mg I and MgH
indices of Mg_2_ and Mg_b_ at 5180{AA}. The internal accuracy of the
observations is found to be {sigma}(Fe5015)=10.32{AA},
{sigma}(Fe5270)=10.19{AA}, {sigma}(Fe5335)=10.22{AA},
{sigma}(Mg_2_)=10.004mag, and {sigma}(Mg_b_)=10.19{AA}. This is about
a factor of 2 better than the corresponding theoretical indices from
the synthetic spectra, the latter being a consequence of the intrinsic
limitations in the input physics, as discussed by Chavez et al. (1997,
Cat. <J/A+AS/126/267>).
