Scientific paper

From IRS Staring observations in the Spitzer archive we selected those stellar targets that had been observed with all the low-resolution IRS modules. We did not include known young stars with circumstellar material, stars known to harbor debris disks, or objects classified in SIMBAD as RS CVn, Be stars, or eclipsing binaries. We have also avoided classes already fully described with IRAS, ISO, or Spitzer, such as Asymptotic Giant Branch stars and rejected targets presenting IR excesses. However, note that in the case of very massive and/or evolved stars there are few objects presenting a pure photospheric spectrum.
A few stars are specifically selected for their intrinsic interest regardless of their IR excess and even if the Atlas already contained another star with the same spectral type. The spectral coverage only reaches to 14um in the case of very late spectral classes (late M, L and T dwarfs) and some WR stars for which the long wavelength modules are unusable or not present in the archive.
The spectral types have been taken from (in order of priority): * NStED (http://nsted.ipac.caltech.edu/), * NStars (http://nstars.nau.edu/nau_nstars/about.htm), * the Tycho-2 Spectral Type Catalog (Cat. III/231) * SIMBAD. For certain types of objects, we have used specialized catalogs as the source of the spectral types.
The data were processed with the Spitzer Science Center S18.7.0 pipelined and corrected for teardrop effects, slit position uncertainties, residual flat-field errors, residual model errors, 24um flux deficit (1), fringing, and order mismatches. The Atlas files contain an error value for each wavelength, intended to represent the random 1sig error at that wavelength. This is the error provided by the SSC's S18.7.0 pipeline and propagated along the reduction procedure. The treatment of errors remains incomplete in this pipeline (2). The errors provided here should be considered carefully, before propagating them into further calculations. However, the processing insures that the spectra do not have strong spurious emission or absorption lines in large signal-to-noise regions.
