In this work we make use of DR14 APOGEE spectroscopic data to study a sample of 92 known OB stars. We developed a near-infrared semi-empirical spectral classification method that was successfully used in case of four new exemplars,…

We present a semi-empirical spectral classification scheme for normal B-type stars using near-infrared spectra (1.5-1.7 $\mu$m) from the SDSS APOGEE2-N DR14 database. The main motivation for working with B-type stars is their importance in…

We present a compilation of spectra of 101 Seyfert galaxies obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (HST-STIS), covering the UV and/or optical spectral range. Information on all the available spectra have been collected in a…
