FTS Spectra from the Mayall 4-m Telescope, 1975-1995
Abstract
The complete archive of spectra obtained with the Fourier Transform Spectrometers in use at the Mayall 4m telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory from 1975 through 1995 is now available to the community. The archive is hosted at Indiana University Bloomington, and includes nearly 10,000 individual spectra of more than 800 different astronomical sources. The FTS produced spectra in the wavelength regime from roughly 0.9 to 5 microns (11,000 to 2000 cm-1), mostly at relatively high spectral resolution. The archive can be searched to identify specific spectra of interest, and the spectra can be viewed online and downloaded in FITS format for analysis. Once a spectrum of interest has been identified, all spectra taken on the same date are provided to allow users to identify appropriate hot star spectra for telluric line division.The archive can be accessed on the web at <a href="https://sparc.sca.iu.edu">https://sparc.sca.iu.edu</a>.
