Abstract:
A new stellar library developed for stellar population synthesis
modelling is presented. The library consists of 985 stars spanning a
large range in atmospheric parameters. The spectra were obtained at
the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope and cover the range 3525-7500Å at
2.3Å (full width at half-maximum) spectral resolution. The spectral
resolution, spectral-type coverage, flux-calibration accuracy and
number of stars represent a substantial improvement over previous
libraries used in population-synthesis models.
