II/47       Scanner Abundance in late-type evolved stars   (Spinrad+ 1969)
================================================================================
Scanner abundance studies. I. An investigation of super-metallicity
 in late-type evolved stars.
    Spinrad H., Taylor B.J.
   <Astrophys. J., 157, 1279 (1969)>

Description:
    Abundance parameters have been derived from scanner observations of
    229 stars. Observations were made with the Wampler photoelectric
    spectrum scanner (Wampler, 1966ApJ...137..280W) on Lick Observatory's
    Crossley and 120in telescopes. Data reductions were performed at UC
    Berkeley on the IBM 7094 computer using programs by L.V. Kuhi and B.J.
    Taylor. The method of reduction and the photometric standard system
    are described by Spinrad and Taylor (1969AJ.....72..320S). The file
    "color.dat" (tables 5 and 6 in the publication) gives colors between
    3880 and 7400{AA} for program stars and survey stars, normalized so
    that I(5360)=1000. The file "block.dat" gives the blocking fractions
    for program stars.

Note (1): w quantity  w = 1-r0/r, where:
  r0 is the no-feature, no-background value of the index, obtained either
     from observations of the very metal-poor stars HD 122563 and HD 165195
     or, in the case of Ca II (8662{AA}), from the assumption that the
     continuum in the neighborhood of the line is flat.
  r  is defined as r=Ia/If or r=(Ia+Ib)/2If, where
     If is the color at the passband containing the feature being measured,
     and Ia and Ib are colors at the continuum points flanking the feature.
