The coverage in wavelength and parameter space of the current and scheduled libraries

Webpage with a large compilation of empirical and theoretical stellar spectral libraries (SSL) including the Solar spectrum, Spectrophotometric Atlases, and links about Spectral Classification, Effective Temperature - Color Calibrations, Atmospheric parameters, Spectral lines, etc..:

- Libraries of stellar spectra (Maintained by David Montes).

Task: One of the task of this IAU workking group on SSL is to convert this webpage of SSL to a database of SSL, where for each 'library’ have searchable fields as:

•  Number of stars
•  Wavelength coverage (UV, VIS, NIR, IR) (λi – λf)
•  Spectral resolution (R) 
•  Some information about the parameter space:
  •  Range in spectral type and luminosity class
  •  T_eff, logg, [Fe/H]
  •  Abundance of other elements [α/H]
•  Stellar parameters source (bibliographic compilation, derived from the spectra of the library)
•  Stars in common with other SSLs (cross-calibration)
•  Identified benchmark stars.
•  File format (ASCII, FITS, FITSTABLES, etc..)
•  Type of spectra: normalized, flux calibrated, RV corrected, telluric corrected, etc...
•  Bibliographic reference
•  URL access, VO access, etc...

- It would help to organize it as a database, where for each 'library' we have searchable fields.

- We may not tell what library are missing, and how to make these libraries, but we want to help the people who are going to make new libraries by:

- Making as easy as possible to design a new library, and in particular include stars that are yet in some libraries (to allow one some cross-calibration). It may be hard to include GBS in a library (they are really bright), but we may suggest some core-stars (yet present in a number of libraries).

 - Giving a model in terms of description of the libraries, so that new libraries have from the start a good description.

- Libraries for stellar populations have until now concentrated on covering the Teff, logg, [Fe/H] space as extensively as possible. But, more and more, we want different 'dimensions' to the parameter space, like abundances, or binarity, or libraries of specific stars.
