WELCOME TO THE SPECTRAL CATALOG

OF

HERBIG Ae Be STARS

AND

 RELATED OBJECTS


This web page shows results  of a spectral analysis of  B, A and F type stars, many catalogued as Herbig Ae/Be objects,  pre main sequence (PMS) stars of intermediate mass, selected from the "Third Catalog of Emission-Line Stars of the Orion Population" ( Herbig and Bell Catalog , 1988). The methods and results are described in detail in Hernández et al (2004).

 Individual information about PMS stars based on FAST spectra (Resolution ~ 6A, spectral range 3900-7100A) is shown in Table 1. In this page you can access the spectrum of each object, details about its spectral type, H alpha line profile and information on other emission lines, the optical and near infrared spectral energy distribution (SED), corrected for reddening by using Rv=3.1 (the normal interstellar extinction law) and Rv=5.0, V-band light curve  and U-B, B-V and V-R colors, finding charts and more. An Appendix of this table includes information about three FU Ori objects (FU Ori, Z CMa and Par21).

The optical and near infrared photometric data compiled from previous works are available in Table 2
