A Library of Theoretical Ultraviolet Spectra of Massive, Hot Stars for Evolutionary Synthesis
Pettini, Max; Leitherer, Claus; Bresolin, Fabio +5 more
We computed a comprehensive set of theoretical ultraviolet spectra of hot, massive stars with the radiation-hydrodynamics code WM-Basic. This model atmosphere and spectral synthesis code is optimized for computing the strong P Cygni type lines originating in the winds of hot stars, which are the strongest features in the ultraviolet spectral regio…
A Detailed Far-Ultraviolet Spectral Atlas of Main-Sequence B Stars
Smith, Myron A.
We have constructed a detailed spectral atlas covering the wavelength region 930-1225 Å for 10 sharp-lined B0-B9 stars near the main sequence. Most of the spectra we assembled are from the archives of the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer satellite, but for nine stars, wavelength coverage above 1188 Å was taken from high-resolution Internatio…
