Scientific paper

Partially resolved spectra of the infrared oxygen triplet in A-G supergiants have been obtained with a new self-scanned photodiode array system. Curve of growth analyses indicate that the lines are formed in non-LTE. A line is identified at 7777.9 A which is strong in A supergiants and which will complicate the analysis of low resolution spectra. At a resolution of 0.45 A/diode the CN lines which appear in G8 and later stars are blended with the O I triplet rendering its equivalent width unreliable as a luminosity indicator.
