Stellar Spectra Viewer
These data come from the stellar spectrum library described by A.J. Pickles (Proc. Ast. Soc. Pacific, 1998).
These spectra are not displayed on a fixed intensity scale. The height of each spectrum is stretched vertically to fill the display.
To display a different spectrum, click a "type" button on the left. By default, the spectrum of a G2V star, like our Sun, is shown.
To measure the wavelength of a feature in the spectrum, click or click-and-drag. The wavelength is shown at the bottom of the display.
