Stellar parameters of M-type stars from LAMOST DR8

DOI

The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) Low Resolution Spectroscopic Survey (LRS) provides massive spectroscopic data on M-type stars, and the derived stellar parameters could bring vital help to various studies. We adopt the ULySS package to perform {chi}^2^ minimization with model spectra generated from the MILES interpolator and determine the stellar atmospheric parameters for the M-type stars from LAMOST LRS Data Release 8. Comparison with the stellar parameters from the APOGEE Stellar Parameter and Chemical Abundance Pipeline (ASPCAP) suggests that most of our results have good consistency. For M dwarfs, we achieve dispersions better than 74K, 0.19dex, and 0.16dex for Teff, logg, and [Fe/H], while for M giants, the internal uncertainties are 58K, 0.32dex, and 0.26dex, respectively. Compared to ASPCAP we also find a systematic underestimation of {Delta}Teff=-176K for M dwarfs and a systematic overestimation of {Delta}logg=0.30dex for M giants. However, such differences are less significant when we make a comparison with common stars from other literature, which indicates that systematic biases exist in the difference between ASPCAP and other measurements. A catalog of 763,136 spectra corresponding to 616,314 M-type stars with derived stellar parameters is presented. We determine the stellar parameters for stars with Teff higher than 2900K, with logg from -0.24dex to 5.9dex. The typical precisions are 45K, 0.25dex, and 0.22dex, for Teff, logg, and [Fe/H], respectively, which are estimated from duplicate observations of the same stars.
