Abstract:
A sample of 180 supposedly composite-spectrum stars has been studied
on the basis of spectra obtained in the near infrared (8370-8780{AA})
at a dispersion of 33{AA}/mm. The objective was to study the cooler
components of the systems. Of our sample, 120 are true composite
spectra, 35 are hot spectra of types B, F and 25 are Am stars. We find
a strong concentration of the cooler components of the composite
spectra around G8III. In view of the difficulty of classifying
composite spectra, because of the superposition of an early type dwarf
and a late type giant or supergiant spectrum, we have made several
tests to control the classification based upon the infrared region.
Since all tests gave positive results, we conclude that our
classifications can be considered as being both reliable and
homogeneous.

Note (1): A - or + sign following the Sp(IR) luminosity class indicates that the
object is probably slightly more or less luminous.
Note (2): Individual notes:
HD 18715: classification based on the cool component, since both
components are well separated (8")
HD 26630: standard MK G0 Ib
HD 51250: standard of radial velocity
HD 74395: standard MK G1 Ib
HD 84367: the secondary is probably an Am star
HD 197177: standard MK G8 IIb
HD 199378: the authors suspect the object to be composite (G5III+A)
HD 209278: visual binary, separated 3.7", but the classification is
based on the combined light
HD 212391: the classification is based on the spectrum of the cool
star since the separation of 4.3" permits to observe
individually each component.

A5V+F8III (Parsons, 1983ApJS...53..553P)
