We present a complete library of synthetic spectra based on
Kurucz's codes that covers the 2500-10 500 Å wavelength range at
resolving powers RP=20 000, 11 500 (=GAIA), 8500
(=RAVE), 2000 (=SLOAN) and uniform dispersions of 1 and
10 Å/pix. The library maps the whole HR diagram, exploring 51288
combinations of atmospheric parameters spanning the ranges: 3500≤
Teff≤47500 K, 0.0≤logg≤ 5.0, -2.5≤[M/H]≤0.5,
[α/Fe]=0.0, +0.4, ξ=1,2,4 km/s, 0≤Vrot≤500 km/s.
The spectra are available both
as absolute fluxes as well as continuum normalized. Foreseen
applications of the library are briefly discussed, including automatic
classification of data from spectroscopic surveys (like RAVE, SLOAN,
GAIA) and calibration of differential photometric indexes. Data
distribution and access to the library via dedicated web page are
outlined.
