Starburst Galaxy Templates

Text files containing HST and HUT spectra of starburst galaxies in the local universe are made available for comparison with distant star forming galaxies. The files have two columns, wavelength in Angstrom and the observed flux in erg/s/cm/cm/A. The wavelength scale is in the restframe of each galaxy. The data are described in the references given below.

Object		Spectrograph	Wavelength Range	Reference
NGC1705		HST/GHRS	1173 to 1736	Heckman & Leitherer (1997)
NGC1741		HST/GHRS	1160 to 1716	Conti et al. (1996)
NGC4214		HST/FOS	1150 to 2327	Leitherer et al. (1996)
NGC5253	(20%cluster+80%field) (50%cluster+50%field)	HST/STIS	1200 to 1600	Tremonti et al. (2001)
IRAS0833+6517		HUT+GHRS	802 to 1842 (HUT) 1191 to 1720 (GHRS)	Gonzalez Delgado et al. (1998)
NGC6090		HUT	793 to 1720	Gonzalez Delgado et al. (1998)
FOS+GHRS Spectra		FOS+GHRS	1150 to 3200	Leitherer et al. (2011)
