Old stellar populations. V. Absorption feature indices for the complete Lick/IDS sample of stars WORTHEY G., FABER S.M., GONZALEZ J.J., BURSTEIN D. <Astrophys. J. Suppl. Ser. 94, 687 (1994)> =1994ApJS...94..687W 1994ApJS...94..687W (SIMBAD/NED BibCode)
ADC_Keywords: Stars, late-type; Spectroscopy Abstract: Twenty-one optical absorption features, 11 of which have been previously defined, are automatically measured in a sample of 460 stars. Following Gorgas et al., the indices are summarized in fitting functions that give index strengths as functions of stellar temperature, gravity, and [Fe/H]. This project was carried out with the purpose of predicting index strengths in the integrated light of stellar populations of different ages and metallicities, but the data should be valuable for stellar studies in the Galaxy as well. Several of the new indices appear to be promising indicators of metallicity for old stellar populations. A complete list of index data and atmospheric parameters is available in computer-readable form.

This is not a complete cross-reference list. Note (2): This number is the upper limit to the actual number of measurements which went into the index averages, as some portions of some spectra were missing or otherwise unusable. Note (3): See the author-supplied documentation, file tablea1.doc, for a complete list of references. There are 2 references in r_[Fe/H] for HD 114762 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Origin: AAS CD-ROM series, Volume 3, 1995 History: 29-Oct-1997: Insert into VizieR 09-Nov-2017: SimbadName column added in VizieR for adding coordinates.
