Description:
This catalog contains a collection of K-band spectra for 26 stars with
near-solar abundances, ranging in spectral class from F8 to M7 and in
luminosity from dwarfs to supergiants. The spectra cover the wavelength
region from 4150 to 4950 /cm and generally exhibit a signal to noise
ratio above 400. Five stars here are supergiants, 15 are giants, and six
are dwarfs. Data included: observation date, starting wavenumber,
wavenumber increment, scale factor of relative intensity, and offset of
relative intensity.

Remarks and Modifications:
A magnetic tape containing the atlas Spectra of Late-Type Standard Stars in
the Region 2.0-2.5 Microns was received from Dr. Susan G. Kleinmann on April
28, 1987. The tape contained 52 files one file for each signal and noise
spectrum, in VAX/VMS SAVESET format. As received, each spectrum consisted
of three parts: (I) the first 412 logical records contained a "big
information block" (BIB) consisting of what might be termed engineering
data from the Fourier transform spectrometer. This is largely redundant
information from spectrum to spectrum and most of the records were actually
unused; (2) a "small information block" (SIB) of two records containing in-
formation pertinent to each observation, and; (3) the array of data points.
Following discussions with Dr. Kleinmann, it was mutually agreed that the
BIBs could be removed from the spectra, the SIBs modified slightly for
easier processing, and all the spectra combined into a single file. The
merging of the data simplifies the structure and is not a hindrance to
processing because each spectrum contains the same number of records and can
be read with a DO statement. The elimination of the redundant information
also decreased the size of the catalog by a factor of 2, a definite
advantage for storage requirements and dissemination. After the above
modifications were made, the data were archived for distribution. The
spectra are in the same order as in Table I of the source reference.
