Center for Astrophysics Optical Infrared Science Archive. I. FAST Spectrograph
Abstract
We announce the public release of 141,531 moderate-dispersion optical spectra of 72,247 objects acquired over the past 25 yr with the FAST Spectrograph on the Fred L. Whipple Observatory 1.5 m Tillinghast telescope. We describe the data acquisition and processing so that scientists can understand the spectra. We highlight some of the largest FAst Spectrograph for the Tillinghast Telescope (FAST) survey programs, and make recommendations for use. The spectra have been placed in a Virtual Observatory-accessible archive and ready for download.
