A near-IR stellar spectral library in the H band using the Mt. Abu telescope

Abstract

We present an H band near-infrared (NIR) spectral library of 135 solar type stars covering spectral types O5-M3 and luminosity classes I-V as per MK classification. The observations were carried out with 1.2 meter Gurushikhar Infrared Telescope (GIRT), at Mt. Abu, India using a NICMOS3 HgCdTe 256 x 256 NIR array based spectrometer. The spectra have a moderate resolution of 1000 (about A) at the H band and have been continuum shape corrected to their respective ective temperatures. A detailed paper describing all the aspects of this spectral library has been published in Ranade et. al. (2004).
