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.
