Synthetic spectra from
SYNTHE
Grids
The current extent of the grids is: Teff = 3500 (500) 8500 and
log g = 2.0 (0.5) 4.5, and spectra are computed at a resolution of 90000.
Description
A limited grid of synthetic spectra computed using John Lester's
version of Kurucz' codes MOLDECK, SYNTHE and SPECSYN.
The grid is located at: http://star.arm.ac.uk/~csj/synthe_models/,
where you may find folders in the form
mMM.vtV.WAV/
mMM: p00 corresponds to [Fe/H] = 0.0
m03 to [Fe/H] = -0.3, etc...
vtV: vt2 represents v_turb = 2 km/s
WAV: blue : 380 - 500 nm
red : 637 - 677 nm
CaT : 840 - 880 nm
Within each folder are files with names of the form....
mMMTTGG.vtV.WAV and/or mMMTTGG.WAV
TT: Teff / 100K
GG: log g * 10
(If both files exist they should be equivalent). Thus the blue
spectrum for a solar composition model with Teff=5500, log g=4.0, v_turb
= 2 km/s would be found at ....
http://star.arm.ac.uk/~csj/synthe_models/p00.vt2.blue/p005545.vt2.blue.
The contents of each file is as follows:
# sdsc grid [+0.0] vturb 2.0 km/s l/h 1.25
# teff = 5500.
# log g = 4.5000
# lambda/delta lambda = 90000.

The model atmospheres on which these spectra were based were taken
from Kurucz' standard grid of ATLAS models:

Models, ed., L.Crivellari, I.Hubeny, & D.G.Hummer, NATO ASI Ser., vol.

The formal solution program SYNTHE with which they were computed was
presented on:

Its implementation on Unix systems has been described by:

The models presented here were computed originally for the analysis
of the cool component of the remarkable binary BI Lyn, which comprises an
early B-type hydrogen-deficient giant and a rapidliy rotating G giant. The
