PEPSI deep spectra. II. Gaia benchmark stars and other M-K standards
@article{Strassmeier2017PEPSIDS, title={PEPSI deep spectra. II. Gaia benchmark stars and other M-K standards}, author={Klaus G. Strassmeier and Ilya V. Ilyin and M. Weber}, journal={arXiv: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics}, year={2017} }
We provide a homogeneous library of high-resolution, high-S/N spectra for 48 bright AFGKM stars, some of them approaching the quality of solar-flux spectra. Our sample includes the northern Gaia benchmark stars, some solar analogs, and some other bright Morgan-Keenan (M-K) spectral standards. Well-exposed deep spectra were created by average-combining individual exposures. The data-reduction process relies on adaptive selection of parameters by using statistical inference and robust estimators…
