Title: High Resolution IR, Visible, and UV Spectral Atlases of the Sun and Arcturus
Abstract: As part of our series of solar and stellar atlases, we have produced high-resolution atlases in the infrared and visible for both the sun and Arcturus. Samples of the spectra will be shown and information provided on obtaining the spectra in both electronic and printed formats. We are currently extending the spectral coverage of both atlases into the 1200-3000Å region of the ultraviolet. In this region line identification can be difficult due to both unidentified spectral features, some of which are modestly strong, and the transition of the spectrum from absorption to emission. Selected segments from the UV atlas will be shown. We will present a summary of atomic and molecular features identified in cool star spectra as well as suggestions for atomic and molecular species that need additional laboratory work.
