A Near-Infrared Stellar Spectral Library in J, H and K Bands
  We present here the J-Band(126 stars), 
  H-Band(135 Stars) and K-Band(114 Stars) near-infrared (NIR) spectral
library of solar type stars covering spectral types O5--M3 and
luminosity classes I--V as per MK classification. The observations were
carried out with 1.2 meter Gurushikhar
Infrared Telescope (GIRT), at Mt. Abu, India using a NICMOS3 HgCdTe
256 X 256 NIR array based spectrometer.

 The spectra have a moderate resolution of 1000 (about
1.6 nm) at the J, H and K 
  Bands and have been continuum shape corrected to their respective
effective temperatures. This library will serve as an important database for stellar
population synthesis and other applications in conjunction with the
newly formed large optical Coudé  feed stellar spectral library of Valdes
et al.

(see http://www.noao.edu/cflib).

 The NIR spectral library (H-Band) has been published in the form of a paper viz.
BASI, 32, 311-333 (2004), and the K-Band library will appear in BASI (2007).
