An atlas of Hubble Space Telescope STIS spectra of Seyfert galaxies

We present a compilation of spectra of 101 Seyfert galaxies obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST ) Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), covering the UV and/or optical spectral range.

Description
Summary:We present a compilation of spectra of 101 Seyfert galaxies obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST ) Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), covering the UV and/or optical spectral range. Information on all the available spectra have been collected in a Mastertable, which is a very useful tool for anyone interested in a quick glance at the existent STIS spectra for Seyfert galaxies in the HST archive, and it can be recovered electronically. Nuclear spectra of the galaxies have been extracted in windows of 0".2 for an optimized sampling (as this is the slit width in most cases) and combined in order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and provide the widest possible wavelength coverage. These combined spectra are also available electronically.
