An Atlas of Recalibrated HST FOS Spectra of Active Galactic Nuclei and Quasars ("FOS_AGN")

The FOS_AGN atlas provides spectral FITS data and preview files for all successful pre-COSTAR spectra using the Faint Object Spectrograph of AGNs (Active Galactic Nuclei). A discussion of the uniform flux and wavelength calibrations of these spectra, including common instrumental artifacts that can appear in FOS data, is given in Evans and Koratkar (2004). The data list includes 221 AGNs. Where possible, and in most cases, these spectra have been clipped at overlapping wavelengths and merged to form a panchromatic spectrum. The target list was compiled from a PI object description in the keywords denoted by 'AGN', 'quasar', 'Seyfert', etc., as well as others designated by the PI as 'galaxy' that should fit into these categories.
