Description:
We present moderate resolution spectroscopy of 111 cool dwarf stars to
supplement the observations we have already presented in the Palomar/MSU
Nearby-Star Spectroscopic Survey. The sample consists of 71 suspected nearby
stars added to the Preliminary Third Catalog of Nearby Stars since 1991
as well as 40 faint red stars selected from the LHS catalog. The study was
aimed at identifying interesting red dwarfs, particularly new nearby,
ultracool dwarfs, and very metal-poor stars.
The observations were made using the Palomar 60-inch, the Hale 200-inch and
the Las Campanas 100-inch telescopes between June 1995 and January 1996.
The spectral resolution is approximately 3 Angstroms per pixel with
wavelength coverage from 6200 to 7500 Angstroms. Table 2 contains
bandstrengths for TiO, CaH, and CaOH indices.

(Nomenclature note: should be named "StKM")
Note on Bin:
Components in a binary system are identified as
p (primary) or s (secondary, tertiary).
Note on Note1:
b G 035-027 and LP 469-118: Photometry based upon Fleming
et al. (1988) observed V_{system} = 14.20 and assumed
Delta V = 0.42
c Steph 2.908: This is the 809th star in Stephenson (1986).
Photometry is from Weis (1991).
d BD+28 3698: Jahreiss notes that this object is presumably a dK
binary with Delta m = 0.8, see Heintz (1993). The distance
was estimated by Jahreiss.
e LHS 3705: This is also Cou 2234. Estimated distance assumes
the system is a binary with Delta m = 0.0 as determined by
Couteau (1985).
Note on Src:
Source of positional data:
5- Digital Sky Survey
Codes 1-4 were used in Reid et al. (1995),Hawley et al. (1996),
Hawley+ (1997)
Note on r:
Distance and estimated uncertainty (%) from the authors' data,
using a weighted combination of trigonometric and spectroscopic
parallaxes.
Note on wPi:
An entry of -1 indicates that Jahreiss's distance estimates were adopted.
