J/A+A/404/661   Fe5270, Fe5335, Mgb and Mg2 synthetic indices  (Barbuy+, 2003)

A grid of synthetic spectra and indices Fe5270, Fe5335, Mgb and Mg2 as a function of stellar parameters and [alpha/Fe]. Barbuy B., Perrin M.-N., Katz D., Coelho P., Cayrel R., Spite M., van't Veer Menneret C. <Astron. Astrophys. 404, 661 (2003)> =2003A&A...404..661B
ADC_Keywords: Models, atmosphere ; Abundances, peculiar Keywords: stars: abundances Description: We have computed a grid of synthetic spectra in the wavelength range λλ4600-5600Å using revised model atmospheres, for a range of atmospheric parameters and values of [alpha-elements/Fe]=0.0 and +0.4. The Lick indices Fe5270, Fe5335, Mgb and Mg2 are measured on the grid spectra, for FWHM=2 to 8.3Å. Relations between the indices Fe5270, Fe5335 and Mg2 and stellar parameters effective temperature Teff, logg, [Fe/H] and [alpha/Fe], valid in the range 4000K≥Teff≥7000K, are presented. These fitting functions are given for FWHM=3.5 and 8.3Å. The indices were also measured for a list of 97 reference stars with well-known stellar parameters observed at ESO and OHP, and these are compared to the computed indices. Finally, a comparison of the indices measured on the observed spectra and those derived from the fitting functions based on synthetic spectra is presented. File Summary:
