An extensive library of 2500-10500 Ang synthetic spectra
  We present a complete library of synthetic spectra based on Kurucz's codes that covers the 2500-10500 Ang wavelength range at resolving powers 20,000, 11,500 (GAIA), 8500 (RAVE), 2000 (SLOAN) and uniform dispersions of 1 and 10 Ang/pix. The library maps the whole HR diagram, exploring 51,288 combinations of atmospheric parameters spanning the ranges: 3500 <= Teff <= 47500 K, 0.0 <= log g <= 5.0, -2.5 <= [M/H] <= 0.5, [alpha/Fe] = 0.0,+0.4, xi =1,2,4 km/sec, 0 <= Vrot <= 500 km/sec. The spectra are available both as absolute fluxes as well as continuum normalized. Performance tests and foreseen spectroscopic applications of the library are discussed, including automatic classification of data from surveys like RAVE, SLOAN, GAIA. The entire library of synthetic spectra is accessible via http://archives.pd.astro.it/2500-10500/ or (for the 1 AA/pix version only) http://gaia.esa.int/spectralib/spectralib1A/SpectraLib1a.cfm
