Abstract:
    An atlas of Arcturus spectra is presented spanning the 8690-9300A
    (10750-11500cm^-1^) region. The high-resolution
    (lambda/delta(lambda)~56000) Fourier transform spectra have been
    divided by a transmission function for the Earth's atmosphere. The
    Arcturus spectral features have been identified. This spectral region
    spans a gap between two major atlases, and comparison of the atlases
    is undertaken. The influence of a grating spectrograph's instrumental
    profile on equivalent width as well as line depth is noted.
    There is an overlap of 10cm-1 between the atlas profiles.
