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.
