Low Dispersion

A test has been made of the reliability of the multidimensional classification of late-type stars from low dispersion objective prism plates recently attempted by Stock and Wroblewski. Such classification at low dispersion is difficult due to the problem of separating the effects of luminosity from those of abnormal metal abundance. A sample of the stars classified by Stock and Wroblewski as metal weak (pec) and of those classified as luminous stars (class I) were observed using the DDO intermediate-band system. The photometry shows that the stars classified as pec are indeed population II giants, of low metal abundance ([Fe/H] < −1.0). The stars classified as I, however, were found in general not to be true supergiants but rather a mixture of various types of giants, such as CN strong stars, with spectral features that resemble, in one way or another, those of higher luminosity stars.

We present an atlas composed of more than 1500 spectra of late-type stars (spectral types from G to M) observed simultaneously in the optical and calcium triplet spectral ranges. These spectra were obtained as part of a survey to search for cool supergiants in the Magellanic Clouds and were taken over four epochs. We provide the spectral and luminosity classification for each spectrum (71% are supergiants, 13% are giants or luminous giants, 4% are carbon or S stars, and the remaining 12% are foreground stars of lesser luminosities). We also provide a detailed guide for the spectral classification of luminous late-type stars, the result of the extensive classification work done for the atlas. Although this guide is based on classical criteria, we have put them together and re-elaborated them for modern CCD-spectra as these criteria were scattered among many different works and mainly conceived for use with photographic plate spectra. The result is a systematic, well-tested process for identifying and classifying luminous late-type stars, illustrated with CCD spectra of standard stars and the classifications of our own catalogue.
