SPECTRUM STANDARDS
The following is a list of the spectrum
standard blue plots available in this directory.
More stars may be added to the list as observations
are reduced.
The header on a standard star plot will give the star name
(or names), spectral type, and usually the catalog in which
it appears as a standard, and date of observation.
Photometric data for most of the O and earlier B stars show that they are significantly reddened.
Only for those cases where the flux vs wavelength curve is noticeably flattened is this noted.

the Sun G2V; the Sun G2V The spectrum of the Sun as a standard
is normally observed as a spectrum of an airless body, like the Moon or Ganymede; there are no
usable HPOL observations of either of these; these spectra are of Mars and Jupiter.
The colors of these bodies will change the relative flux level in broad wavelength bands compared to the
true Solar spectrum; notice the shape of the curves differ from each other about 4000-4800Angstroms.
Omi UMa G5IIIa
HD71115 G7II-III
Epsilon Vir G8III
Epsilon Cor Bor K2III This spectrum is noisier than the others
Alpha Tau K5III
Alpha Her AB M5Ib-II Alpha Her is a binary; the spectral type
refers to the primary; the secondary is a G giant a few arc seconds away which also lies in the HPOL
aperture.
Component B is about 2 mag fainter than A; spectral features from it may be
noticeable at the shortest wavelengths
