<p>I'm looking for a way to access the data used to produce <a href="http://www.astronomie-amateur.fr/ProjetsSpectro3_WRAtlas_Lisa.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">these plots</a> for instance. These plots show the spectrum of various Wolf-Rayet stars. I found a few websites where you have some informations on those stars <a href="http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-ref?querymethod=bib&amp;simbo=on&amp;submit=submit+bibcode&amp;bibcode=1987ApJS...65..459T" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here for instance</a>, but I'm not able to find and download a file containing the spectrum data of the stars. </p>

Depending on the number of digits precision you need, you could take the graphs and feed them to DataThief   https://datathief.org/

Data for spectrum of Wolf-Rayet stars

# Data for spectrum of Wolf-Rayet stars

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-12-20)

I'm looking for a way to access the data used to produce [these plots](http://www.astronomie-amateur.fr/ProjetsSpectro3_WRAtlas_Lisa.html) for instance. These plots show the spectrum of various Wolf-Rayet stars. I found a few websites where you have some informations on those stars [here for instance](http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-ref?querymethod=bib&simbo=on&submit=submit+bibcode&bibcode=1987ApJS...65..459T), but I'm not able to find and download a file containing the spectrum data of the stars.
