cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiescatalogsspectroscopyline-intensitiesWe present long-slit integrated spectroscopy of 238 late-type galaxies belonging to the Herschel Reference Survey, a volume-limited sample representative of the nearby universe. This sample has a unique legacy value since it was ideally defined for any statistical study of the multifrequency properties of galaxies spanning a wide range in morphological type and luminosity. The spectroscopic observations cover the spectral range 3600-6900{AA} at a resolution R~=1000 and are thus suitable for separating both the underlying absorption from the emission of the H{beta} line and the two [NII] lines from the H{alpha} emission. We measured the fluxes and the equivalent widths of the strongest emission lines ([OII]{lambda}3727, H{beta}, [OIII]{lambda}4959 and [OIII]{lambda}5007, [NII]{lambda}6548, H{alpha}, [NII]{lambda}6584, [SII]{lambda}6717, and [SII]{lambda}6731). We used the data to study the distribution of the equivalent width of all the emission lines, of the Balmer decrement C(H{beta}), and of the observed underlying Balmer absorption under H{beta} (EWH{beta}_abs_) in this sample. Combining these new spectroscopic data with those available at other frequencies, we also study the dependence of C(H{beta}) and EWH{beta}_abs_ on morphological type, stellar mass, stellar surface density, star formation rate, birthrate parameter, and metallicity in galaxies belonging to different environments (fields vs. Virgo cluster). The distribution of the equivalent width of all the emission lines, of C(H{beta}) (or equivalently of A(H{alpha}), and of EWH{beta}_abs_ are systematically different in cluster and field galaxies. The Balmer decrement increases with the stellar mass, stellar surface density, metallicity, and star formation rate of the observed galaxies, while it is unexpectedly almost independent of the column density of the atomic and molecular gas. The dependence of C(H{beta}) on stellar mass is steeper than previously found in other works. The underlying Balmer absorption does not significantly change with any of these physical parameters.2013A&A...550A.114Bhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/550/A114CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toVII/141 : Spectrophotometric Atlas of Galaxies (Kennicutt Jr. 1992)J/ApJS/126/331 : Spectrophotometry of nearby field galaxies (Jansen+ 2000)J/A+A/417/499 : Spectrophotometry of Virgo cluster galaxies (Gavazzi+, 2004)J/ApJS/164/81 : Spectrophotometry of nearby galaxies (Moustakas+, 2006)J/ApJS/190/233 : SINGS galaxies spectroscopy and abundances (Moustakas+, 2010)J/PASP/122/261 : Herschel Reference Survey (HRS) Sample (Boselli+, 2010)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/550/A114https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/550/A114http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/550/A114https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/550/A114https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/550/A114http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/550/A114GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/550/A114/spectra (List of spectra (from CDS))https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/550/A114/spectra?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/550/A114/spectra?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/550/A114/spectra?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true154.415208322.80994440.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/A+A/550/A114/table7 (General properties of observed late-type galaxies of the Herschel Reference Survey (HRS) sample)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/550/A114/table7?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/550/A114/table7?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/550/A114/table7?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true154.41522.8100280.005555555555555556Associated datahttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/assocdata/?obs_collection=J/A+A/550/A1145/6928 6941 6965 6984-6985 6/4439 5124 5152 5164 5172 5190 5196 5198 5200 5241 5244 5247 5332 5336 5342 5440 5629 5966-5967 5975-5978 5981-5982 5999 6001 6011 6037 6082 8235 8330 8359 10475 10592 10632 10672 10684 10845 10990 11010 11074 11435 11789 25575 25581 25599 25775 25788 25790 25966 25980 25997 26055 26065 26068 26072 26088 26090 26119 26128 26139 26174-26175 26210 26214 26222-26223 26260 26265 26271 26285 26294 26301-26303 26308-26309 26311 26317-26318 26320 26323 26331 26336 26338 26340 26343-26344 26346-26347 26351 26362-26363 26365 26377 26388 26432 26472 26528 26530 26542 27130 27606 27653-27654 27716 27718-27719 27724-27725 27727-27728 27730-27731 27735-27736 27738-27739 27741 27750 27757-27758 27761 27763 27772-27773 27814 27823 27841 27853 27855 27857 27907-27909 27913-27918 27922 27926 27931 27934 27944-27945 27947-27949 27955 28032-28033 28035 28037-28039 28054 28056 28123 28126 28162 28170 28191 28201 28208 28213 28234 28258 28264 28294 28299-28300 28304 28348 28404 28416 28508 28529 28643 286517.952274030004205e-20 1.0188844282367877e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/550/A114?format=asciidefaultJ/A+A/550/A114/spectraList of spectra (from CDS)FITSDownload the FITS spectrummeta.ref.urlcharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
