Abstract

Digitized objective prism spectra can be used to derive astrometric positions, radial velocities and magnitudes as well as the intensities of spectral lines. From the latter spectral types, luminosities, and a metal index can be derived. This opens up the possibility of a totally automatized evaluation of plates containing data for a large number of stars. A respective system has been developed and tested for a certain telescope-prism-filter combination yielding a dispersion of 83 A at H6 in a spectral window of 150 A width.
