Methodological problems and hardware/software requirements of efficient automatic classification of objective prism stellar spectra are described on the basis of experience from ‘microphotometer-computer’ classification. Significant advances in hardware (two-dimensional scanners, on-line computers) as well as in software (image processing techniques) have now brought high-speed, exhaustive, automatic classification within reach. Some astronomical implications of automatic spectral surveys are discussed.

Three-dimensional classification of late-type stars is obtained through computer-processed digitized microphotometer data. Plate transmissions are converted to relative intensity through spot-sensitometer calibration data. A pseudo-continuum consisting of several straight-line segments is formed by connecting high points in the spectrum. Absorption-line strengths and line ratios are then measured. The temperature-and-luminosity-sensitive ratios are relatively insensitive to seeing effects. For plates with a dispersion of 108 Å mm-1, preliminary results indicate an accuracy in derived absolute magnitude comparable to, and possibly better than, that of MK classification.The CN anomaly serves as the abundance index. The CN index was defined in a manner to give the largest figure of merit (the ratio of total range of the index to the mean error). The adopted method is the same as that of Yoss and Lutz (1971) and has a figure of merit over twice that of the index similar to that of Griffin and Redman (1960).For field stars, plate X and Y positions are converted to equatorial coordinates and printed out in order of increasing right ascension, making quick and easy identification of the Henry Draper numbers.

Some years ago a complex programme of studying the main meridional section of the Galaxy was started by astronomers of Kiev, Tartu, Abastumani and Vilnius Observatories with the aim of improving our knowledge of spatial and kinematic characteristics of stellar populations. Characteristic to the programme is the use of absolute proper motions of stars together with automated quantitative spectral classification for large stellar-statistical samples. The data are gathered in areas lying within 30° of the main meridional section of the Galaxy. To classify stars, objective prism stellar spectra of intermediate dispersion (166 å/mm at Hγ), obtained with the 70 cm meniscus telescope at the Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory, are used. The field diameter is 4° 50′, and the limiting photographical stellar magnitude is about 12 m . Our system of automated quantitative spectral classification of F-K stars applies criteria evaluation and is mainly based on two software packages: the SDR package for spectrometric data reduction and the CTATEC-2 package determining the linear regression model used for classification (Malyuto & Shvelidze 1989; Malyuto, Pelt & Shvelidze 1993).

AbstractA computer program for the automatic classification of stellar spectra is described. The aim of this program is to derive accurate absolute luminosities and spectral classes of individual stars for improved spectral parallaxes. Preliminary results are presented and future applications are discussed.
