Description

Spectrum of the star Altair. Got quite good results after some try-error sessions. Altair is a A7V-spectral class star with prominent Hydrogen Balmer absorption lines in its spectrum. The calibrated version seems to show more Balmer lines, more evidently, I would say.
According to the Wiens Law, from the calibrated spectrum I am getting an effective "surface" temperature of about 7234° K. It is just 2% less that the value from the Stellarcatalog. Other resources show numbers also around 7500°±500° K
