L. author Gil De Paz, Armando author Cardiel López, Nicolás author Gómez Álvarez, P. author Berlanas, S.R. author 2021-03 MEGARA is an optical integral field and multi-object fibre-based spectrograph for the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio CANARIAS that offers medium-to-high spectral resolutions (FWHM) of R -̃ 6000, 12 000, 20 000. Commissioned at the telescope in 2017, it started operation as a common-user instrument in 2018. We are creating an instrument-oriented empirical spectral library from MEGARA-GTC stars observations, MEGASTAR, crucial for the correct interpretation of MEGARA data. This piece of work describes the content of the first release of MEGASTAR, formed by the spectra of 414 stars observed with R -̃ 20 000 in the spectral intervals 6420–6790 Å and 8370–8885 Å, and obtained with a continuum average signal-to-noise ratio around 260. We describe the release sample, the observations, the data reduction procedure and the MEGASTAR data base. Additionally, we include in Appendix A an atlas with the complete set of 838 spectra of this first release of the MEGASTAR catalogue. 0035-8711 10.1093/mnras/staa3704 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/7968 https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa3704 https://academic.oup.com/ MEGARA-GTC stellar spectral library - II.
