An Extended Scheme of Spectral Classification for Objective Prism Spectra
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 July 2016
Abstract
A spectral classification scheme has been developed for objective prism spectra of LMC stars, taken with the 1.2 m UK Schmidt Telescope in Australia. Various line ratios, discontinuities, and continuum intensities have been used as criteria. The scheme is a 2-D system (spectral type — luminosity class), and the criteria are given in graphical form. The typical accuracy of our scheme is 2 subdivisions of spectral type. Comparison of our types with those given by other authors for common stars yields a very good correlation with deviations within our accuracy.
