B[e] stars. VIII. MWC 342

On the basis of spectroscopic CCD material obtained at the Haute Provence Observatory, we provide line identifications and equivalent width measurements in the wavelength region 4095-8935 Angstroms, of the spectrum of MWC 342. Two hundred eighty emission features are identified and eighteen absorption features. Nine interstellar bands could be identified. Some of the remaining absorption lines correspond to a B0 type star. The cooler emission lines correspond to a spectrum of an early A-type star. The temperatures derived from both spectral types (29 000 and 9 000 K) are in excellent agreement with the temperatures derived by photometrists. Based on observations obtained at the Haute Provence Observatory (CNRS).
