We have computed a grid of synthetic spectra in the
wavelength range 
4600–5600 Å
using revised model atmospheres,
for a range of atmospheric parameters and
values of [ ![$\alpha\mbox{-elements/Fe}] = 0.0$](/articles/aa/abs/2003/23/aa10234/aa10234_tex_eq4.png)
and +0.4.
The Lick indices Fe5270, Fe5335, Mgb and Mg2 are measured
on the grid spectra for 
to 8.3 Å.
Relations between the indices Fe5270, Fe5335 and Mg2
and the stellar parameters
effective temperature 
, [Fe/H] and
[ α/Fe] , valid in the range 
K, are presented. These
fitting functions are given for 
and 8.3 Å.
The indices were also
measured for a list of 97 reference stars with
well-known stellar parameters observed at ESO and OHP, and these
are compared to the computed indices.
Finally,
a comparison of the indices measured on the observed spectra
and those derived from
the fitting functions based on synthetic spectra is presented.
