Archive of Infrared Spectra of Dusty Stars and Comets

Last Revised 2008 May 26

The following are spectra that have already been published. The name of the star/comet, the data file name (starname and UT date in yymmdd or yyyymmdd), a plot of the data, and the publication the data appeared in, are listed. Each data file consists of 5 columns: the wavelength in microns, the flux (λF_λ in W/m²) and its error in two different flux calibration systems (see below).

Because these data are already published, anyone is free to use them, as long as the proper source (publication) is cited. Some of these data have been re-processed since the original publication, but the differences are minor.
