Abstract:
We present a library of empirical stellar spectra created using
spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey's Baryon Oscillation
Spectroscopic Survey. The templates cover spectral types O5 through
L3, are binned by metallicity from -2.0dex through +1.0dex, and are
separated into main-sequence (dwarf) stars and giant stars. With
recently developed M dwarf metallicity indicators, we are able to
extend the metallicity bins down through the spectral subtype M8,
making this the first empirical library with this degree of
temperature and metallicity coverage. The wavelength coverage for the
templates is from 3650 to 10200Å at a resolution of better than
R∼2000. Using the templates, we identify trends in color space with
metallicity and surface gravity, which will be useful for analyzing
large data sets from upcoming missions like the Large Synoptic Survey
Telescope. Along with the templates, we are releasing a code for
automatically (and/or visually) identifying the spectral type and
metallicity of a star.

Note (1): All bins are 0.5dex with the number reported denoting the highest
value in the bin (e.g., 0.0 means the metallicity is between -0.5 and
0.0dex compared to solar metallicity).
