Scanner observations of field horizontal-branch A stars

Measurements have been conducted regarding the energy distributions of 16 field horizontal-branch A stars, plus nine others of miscellaneous types, at 20 wavelengths between 3450 and 6970 A using the HCO scanners on 0.9 m telescopes at Kitt Peak and Cerro Tololo Observatories. The observations are r...

More Information
Summary:Measurements have been conducted regarding the energy distributions of 16 field horizontal-branch A stars, plus nine others of miscellaneous types, at 20 wavelengths between 3450 and 6970 A using the HCO scanners on 0.9 m telescopes at Kitt Peak and Cerro Tololo Observatories. The observations are reported here as absolute energy distributions on the system of Hayes and Latham. The (internal) measurement error (std. dev.) is 0.025 mag per observation, averaged over all wavelengths.
