Multiwavelength SEDs for the program stars. In the UV (λ ⩽ 3000 Å), low-resolution IUE spectrophotometry is shown as small circles. In the optical (3000 Å <λ < 6000 Å), Johnson UBV Strömgren uvby and Geneva UB 1B 2V 1G photometry are indicated by the circles, triangles, and diamonds, respectively. In the NIR, the small circles are the new ACS observations and the large circles are the 2MASS JHK photometry. The SEDs have been offset by arbitrary amounts for display purposes. The dashed lines are not model fits to the SEDs, but were added to guide the eye and to help distinguish the datasets for each star.
