Exposures through three low-resolution gratings provide wavelength coverage from 0.2&lt;{lambda}&lt;1{mu}m at {lambda}/{Delta}{lambda}~1000. The UV grating (G230LB) scatters red light that results in unwanted signal, especially in cool stars. We applied scattered-light corrections and flux corrections arising from pointing errors relative to the center of the 0.2" slit based on Worthey et al. We present 513 fully reduced stellar spectra, fluxed, dereddened, and cross correlated to zero velocity. Because of the broad spectral range, we can simultaneously study H{alpha} and MgII{lambda}2800, indicators of chromospheric activity. Their behaviors are decoupled. Besides three cool dwarfs and one giant with mild flares in H{alpha}, only Be stars show strong H{alpha} emission. Mg2800 emission, however, strongly anticorrelates with temperature such that warm stars show absorption and stars cooler than 5000K universally show chromospheric emission regardless of dwarf/giant status or metallicity. Transformed to Mg2800 flux emerging from the stellar surface, we find a correlation with temperature with approximately symmetric astrophysical scatter. Previous work had indicated a basal level with asymmetric scatter to strong values. The discrepancy is primarily due to our improved treatment of extinction. We confirm statistically significant time variability in Mg2800 strength for one star.</description><source format="bibcode">2023ApJS..266...41P</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/266/41</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/III/92">III/92 : A Library of Stellar Spectra (Jacoby+ 1984)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/82/197">J/ApJS/82/197 : Mean UV Spectra of Stellar Groups (Fanelli+ 1992)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/94/687">J/ApJS/94/687 : Old stellar populations.
