VizieR Online Data Catalog: Abundances and stellar parameters of LAMOST stars (Lee+, 2015)
Abstract
By performing a coordinate match with the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST; see DR1 in Luo et al. 2015, cat. V/146) stellar database, we selected stars with LAMOST spectra in common with stars having available spectroscopy from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE; Majewski et al. 2015, submitted), the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE; see Kordopatis et al. 2013, cat. III/272), and the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (SEGUE; see Yanny et al. 2009, cat. J/AJ/137/4377).
The LAMOST Experiment for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (LEGUE) survey is an ongoing spectroscopic survey being conducted with the Guoshoujing telescope in northeast China. This telescope employs a fixed 4-m Schmidt-type reflector with 4000 optical fibers in the focal plane to obtain spectra of astronomical objects in a 5° field of view. The LEGUE and SEGUE surveys have very similar spectral coverage and resolving power (R~1800). The LAMOST stellar targets mostly comprise stars brighter than r< 17, whereas the SEGUE stars range from r=14 to r=21. SEGUE-1 was executed during the second phase of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-II). This effort was continued as SEGUE-2 during the third phase of SDSS (SDSS-III). APOGEE was designed to obtain high-resolution near-infrared spectra (in the H-band between 1.51 and 1.70μm). The spectra obtained by APOGEE have a resolving power R~22500 and high S/N (>100). APOGEE-1 was a sub-survey of SDSS-III, and is now completed. Its extension, APOGEE-2, is presently underway as part of SDSS-IV. The RAVE survey was designed to observe about a million stars in the southern hemisphere, and obtain optical spectra over the wavelength range 8410-8795Å, the region of the CaII triplet, at a resolving power R~7500. SEGUE-1 and SEGUE-2 have employed the SEGUE Stellar Parameter Pipeline (SSPP; Lee et al. 2008, cat. J/AJ/136/2050; Allende Prieto et al. 2008, cat. J/AJ/136/2070; Smolinski et al. 2011, cat. J/AJ/141/89; Lee et al. 2011, cat. J/AJ/141/90) to derive the stellar atmospheric parameters and available elemental abundance ratios. We modified and upgraded SSPP so that it can process the LAMOST stellar spectra and derive the fundamental stellar parameters as well as the α-element abundances ([α/Fe]) and carbon-to-iron ratios ([C/Fe]) for these stars. The derived atmospheric parameters and chemical abundances obtained by SSPP for LAMOST stars are then compared with those from the stars also observed by SEGUE, APOGEE, and RAVE. Table1 lists the LAMOST stars with appropriate stellar parameters from APOGEE, RAVE, and SEGUE. It also lists the LAMOST/SEGUE Stellar Parameter Pipeline (LSSPP) parameters and abundances. We do not report [α/Fe] and [C/Fe] for stars with S/N<20 and the range outside of Teff=4400-6700K in the table. (1 data file).- Publication:
