ADCADC/CDS Standard Document for Catalog:
/external/spectro/E3001/

The ADC has expanded its resources in order to better serve our users, we have developed a new category called "external" to complement our catalogs and journal table directories. You can access the data set described here through the URL:

The following is an abbreviated "ReadMe" document that describes this external data set.

Description:
    The atlas contains 686 spectra of 315 standard stars obtained by the
    International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) observatory before March 1989.
    Observations were made with the short wavelength prime (SWP) and long
    wavelength prime (LWP) and redundant (LWR) cameras on board the IUE.  In
    low dispersion mode the SWP camera covers the spectral region 1150-1975
    angstroms with a resolution of about 6 angstroms, while the LWP and LWR
    cameras cover the 1975-3200-angstrom region with a resolution of about 7
    angstroms.  All spectra were processed or reprocessed by the Goddard IUE
    Observatory staff with the IUESIPS production software in use on the dates
    of processing.  The atlas includes star identifications, adopted spectral
    types, V, B-V, E(B-V), IUE image numbers, apertures used for exposure,
    exposure times, temperatures of the camera head amplifier during the
    exposure, maximum exposure levels expressed in the unit of data number
    (DN), and comments.
