Exploring the stellar rotation of early-type stars in the LAMOST Medium-Resolution Survey. I. Catalog

Abstract

We derive stellar parameters and abundances (`stellar labels') of 40,034 late-B and A-type main-sequence stars extracted from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope Medium Resolution Survey (LAMOST--MRS). The primary selection of our early-type sample was obtained from LAMOST Data Release 7 based on spectral line indices. We employed the Stellar LAbel Machine (SLAM) to derive their spectroscopic stellar parameters, drawing on Kurucz spectral synthesis models with 6000 K $<T_{\mathrm{eff}}<$ 15,000 K and $-1$ dex $<[M/H]<$ 1 dex. For a signal-to-noise ratio of $\sim 60$, the cross-validated scatter is $\sim$75 K, 0.06 dex, 0.05 dex, and $\sim 3.5\mathrm{km}{\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ for $T_{\mathrm{eff}}$, $\log g$, [M/H], and $v\sin i$, respectively. A comparison with objects with prior, known stellar labels shows great consistency for all stellar parameters, except for $\log g$. Although this is an intrinsic caveat that comes from the MRS's narrow wavelength coverage, it only has a minor effect on estimates of the stellar rotation rates because of the decent spectral resolution and the profile-fitting method employed. The masses and ages of our early-type sample stars were inferred from non-rotating stellar evolution models. This paves the way for reviewing the properties of stellar rotation distributions as a function of stellar mass and age.
