Description:
    We present a library of Utrecht echelle spectrograph (UES)
    observations of a sample of F, G, K and M field dwarf stars covering
    the spectral range from 4800Å to 10600Å with a resolution of
    55000. These spectra include some of the spectral lines most widely
    used as optical and near-infrared indicators of chromospheric activity
    such as Hβ, MgI b triplet, NaI D{1}, D{2}, HeI D{3}, Hα,
    and CaII IRT lines, as well as a large number of photospheric lines
    which can also be affected by chromospheric activity. The spectra have
    been compiled with the aim of providing a set of standards observed at
    high-resolution to be used in the application of the spectral
    subtraction technique to obtain the active-chromosphere contribution
    to these lines in chromospherically active single and binary stars.
    This library can also be used for spectral classification purposes. A
    digital version with all the spectra is available via ftp and the
    World Wide Web (WWW)
    (http://www.ucm.es/OTROS/Astrof/fgkmsl/UESfgkmsl.html) in FITS format.

Note on spectra/*: The authors have some problems to restore the files of
   the spectra which have in the name the code for observing run No 3 and 5.
 These files will be availables as soon as possible.

Note (1): The original name was made as starnameuesRun, using
          the number of the observing run given in table1.dat.
          This name being too long, it was assigned a shorter
          name given in column FITSfile.
          Many spectra are not available.
Note (2): the position has beed added from the SIMBAD data-base.
