The POLLUX Database of Stellar Spectra

POLLUX is a stellar spectra database proposing access to theoretical data. High resolution synthetic spectra and spectral energy distributions have been computed using the best available models of atmosphere (CMFGEN, ATLAS and MARCS), performant spectral synthesis codes (CMF_FLUX,SYNSPEC and TURBOSPECTRUM) and atomic linelists from VALD database and specific molecular linelists for cool stars. Spectral types from O to M are represented for a large set of parameters : Teff, log g, [Fe/H], specific abundances.

New release announced: new spectra (Chiavassa, Casagrande, Collet et al., A&A, in press, arXiv:1801.01895) will be available soon (1st quarter of 2018). These spectra have been computed from 3D simulations (Magic et al. 2013, A&A, 557, A26) using the radiative transfer code Optim3D (Chiavassa et al. 2009, A&A, 506, 1351). In the meantime, please contact directly A. Chiavassa (andrea.chiavassa@oca.eu) to obtain the 3D spectra
