19. F0

The spectral type is determined from the ratio lambdalambda 4030-4034: lambdalambda 4128-4132 and the appearance of the spectrum in the neighborhood of lambda 4300. The luminosity class is determined from the relative intensity of lambda 4172 and lambda 4132 (red edge of broad blend) and the ratio lambda 4172: lambda 4226.
