Abstract

The POLLUX database of theoretical stellar spectra includes high-resolution synthetic spectra in the optical range, and spectral distribution energies from the UV to the infrared domains. Data are produced using state-of-the-art codes for each spectral type. The aim of the POLLUX database is to offer easy and direct comparison to observational data, as well as to create easily accessed stellar libraries from M dwarfs or red supergiants to hot and massive stars including Wolf-Rayet stars. Here, we review the major steps of the elaboration of such a database : current status, ongoing and further developments.
