Scientific paper

We have embarked on a project to obtain medium/high-resolution spectra of stars spanning the relevant abundance range (Ivanov et al. 2004). Here we report ISAAC@VLT spectroscopy of metal-poor supergiants from the Magellanic Clouds, covering the H and K atmospheric windows. The spectral resolution is about R=9000, making the new spectra excellent templates for measuring the velocity dispersion in external galaxies. The typical signal-to-noise ratio is 30-50. We report the strengths of metal and molecule features.
