A Deep Spectral Survey of Peculiar A-Type Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We are conducting a long-term deep spectral survey to investigate the distribution of Ap and Am stars in selected fields of the Milky Way and in open star clusters of different ages. The spectral survey is based on objective prism spectra obtained with an eight degree prism attached to the 70/98 cm meniscus telescope (f/3, 135 Å mm−1 at Hδ) at the Abastumani Observatory. Kodak IIIa-J emulsions hypersensitized by baking in nitrogen gas are used in combination with a 500 Å FWHM filter centered on Hδ. A limiting magnitude of mB = 14 was reached in an exposure time of 120 m. Study of the objective prism plates is still in a very early stage. Observations of the central part of the same field taken with a CCD resulted in a limiting magnitude mB = 16. On the basis of spectral material obtained, a wide range of spectra may be classified in the MK system.
