| Abstract: |
From December 1978 through May 2009, more than 250,000 high dispersion (R 36,000
or 8.7 km/sec) optical spectra of bright stars (V<13 on 1.5m, V<15 on
6.4m) were recorded by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) on
echelle spectrographs on the Tillinghast 1.5-meter reflecting telescope and MMT
telescope on Mt. Hopkins in Arizona and the Wyeth 1.5-meter reflecting telescope
in Harvard, Massachusetts. The spectra were obtained primarily to obtain radial
velocities and stellar parameters. The spectra have been uniformly reduced and
are being made public as a valuable resource in combination with Gaia proper motion
and parallax measurements. |
