Description:
We have computed a grid of synthetic spectra in the wavelength range
λλ4600-5600Å using revised model atmospheres, for a
range of atmospheric parameters and values of [alpha-elements/Fe]=0.0
and +0.4. The Lick indices Fe5270, Fe5335, Mgb and Mg2 are measured
on the grid spectra, for FWHM=2 to 8.3Å. Relations between the
indices Fe5270, Fe5335 and Mg2 and stellar parameters effective
temperature Teff, logg, [Fe/H] and [alpha/Fe], valid in the range
4000K≥Teff≥7000K, are presented. These fitting functions are given
for FWHM=3.5 and 8.3Å. The indices were also measured for a list
of 97 reference stars with well-known stellar parameters observed at
ESO and OHP, and these are compared to the computed indices. Finally,
a comparison of the indices measured on the observed spectra and those
derived from the fitting functions based on synthetic spectra is
presented.
