Spectroscopy of standard stars

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We define an H{alpha} photometric system that is designed as a companion to the well established H{beta} index.

Description

The new system is built on spectrophotometric observations of field stars as well as stars in benchmark open clusters. We present data for 75 field stars, 12 stars from the Coma star cluster, 24 stars from the Hyades, 17 stars from the Pleiades, and 8 stars from NGC 752 to be used as primary standard stars in the new systems.

We show that the system transformations are relatively insensitive to the shape of the filter functions. We make comparisons of the H{alpha} index to the H{beta} index and illustrate the relationship between the two systems. In addition, we present relations that relate both hydrogen indices to equivalent width and effective temperature.

We derive equations to calibrate both systems for Main Sequence stars with spectral types in the range O9 to K2 for equivalent width and A2 to K2 for effective temperature.
