Grid of 1D pure-hydrogen NLTE synthetic spectra Separate files for log (g) = 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9,0 and 9.5. Each file includes 60 temperatures from 1500 to 140,000 K. Convection model is 1D ML2/alpha = 0.8. NLTE is switched off below 40,000 K as it is negligible at low and medium spectroscopic resolution. NLTE corrections for line cores <20,000 K at high spectroscopic resolution are available upon request to the authors. File format: 1) Grid of 2711 wavelength points in Angstrom 2) For each model at fixed gravity Header "Effective temperature = [value] gravity = [value] y = 0.000E+00" Grid of 2711 Fnu Eddington fluxes in air wavelength (units of erg cm^-2 s^-1 Hz^-1) Main references Tremblay, P.-E., Bergeron, P. & Gianninas, A. (2011) ApJ, 730, 128. Kowalski P. M., Saumon D., 2006, ApJL, 651, L137. With line profiles from Tremblay, P.-E. & Bergeron, P. (2009) ApJ, 696, 1755. Conversion: The flux at Earth is f = 4*pi*R^2/D^2 * Eddington flux where R is the white dwarf radius, D the distance and the Eddington flux the quantity in the files. The radius can be found from Evolutionary Sequences. There are several sources including the website below https://www.astro.umontreal.ca/~bergeron/CoolingModels/ For spectroscopic fitting 3D corrections should be added for accurate atmospheric parameters. For photometric fitting 1D models are sufficient but please check the 3D grid and reference below for UV photometry.
