FAR_UV EMPIRICAL STELLAR LIBRARY
FOR Starburst99
============================

This web page contains empirical spectra of 
OB stars combined and interpolated
for each spectral type of each principal
luminosity classes (I to V and WR).
Spectra covers from 1003.1 to 1182.678A, with 
a dispersion of 0.127A. All data are
normalized and are given in FITS format.

SPECIFICATIONS:
---------------

-Available metallicities: 0.3 Zsun (LMC+SMC)
                          Zsun	   (Milky Way)
-Available Spectral Types:
     O3 to B0 (sub-solar)
     O3 to B3 (MKW)
     WNE+WNL+WCE+WCL (all metallicities)

     NOTE1: For information about what stars and how many stars
            are included in each spectral class, please read the
            paper of Robert etal. (2003) mentionned above. 
     NOTE2: In the WR class, various types of WN and WC spectra, used
            to create the WNE+WNL+WCE+WCL spectra are also included.
            Be advise that it does NOT systematically include all 
            known sub-classes.

ORGANIZATION:
--------------

FILENAMES: ex.= o6.5iii_mc.fits

    The first serie of characters indicates the spectral type
    and the luminosity class:
           o6.5iii (O6.5 type, giant);
           b4v     (B4 type, dwarf);
           wne     (WN-early).

    The second serie of three characters indicates the metallicity:
           mc for Magellanic Clouds stars;
           mw for Milky Way stars.
