A Spectral Atlas of the Pre-WN Candidate HD 326823
/ Authors
/ Abstract
HD 326823 is a peculiar emission line object. In the literature it was considered as a pre-WN candidate. Based mainly on high-resolution data, obtained with the FEROS spectrograph, we made an atlas covering 3800-9200 A region. This atlas confirms the presence of several strong He I lines and numerous nitrogen lines. There is also a deficiency of hydrogen, indicating that this object is indeed in an evolved stage. In addition, with low-resolution spectra, we obtained intensities of several lines.
