Revised extinctions and radii for 1.5 million stars observed by APOGEE, GALAH, and RAVE

Abstract

Asteroseismology has become widely accepted as a benchmark for accurate and precise fundamental stellar properties. It can therefore be used to validate and calibrate stellar parameters derived from other approaches. Meanwhile, one can leverage large-volume surveys in photometry, spectroscopy, and astrometry to infer stellar parameters over a wide range of evolutionary stages, independently of asteroseismology. Our pipeline, SEDEX, compares the spectral energy distribution predicted by the MARCS and BOSZ model spectra with 32 photometric bandpasses, combining data from 9 major, large-volume photometric surveys. We restrict the analysis to targets with available spectroscopy from the APOGEE, GALAH, and RAVE surveys to lift the temperature-extinction degeneracy. The cross-survey atmospheric parameter and uncertainty estimates are homogenized with artificial neural networks. Validation of our results with CHARA interferometry, HST CALSPEC spectrophotometry, and asteroseismology, shows that we achieve high precision and accuracy. We present a catalog of improved interstellar extinction (${\sigma }_{A_V}\simeq$ 0.14 mag) and stellar radii (${\sigma }_R/R\simeq$ 7.4\%) for $\sim$1.5 million stars in the low- to high-extinction ($A_V\lesssim 6$ mag) fields observed by the spectroscopic surveys. We derive global extinctions for 184 Gaia DR2 open clusters, and confirm the differential extinction in NGC 6791 and NGC 6819 that have been subject to extensive asteroseismic analysis. Furthermore, we report 36,854 double-lined spectroscopic main-sequence binary candidates. This catalog will be valuable for providing constraints on detailed modelling of stars and for constructing 3D dust maps of the Kepler field, the TESS CVZs, and the PLATO long duration observation fields.

The paper has been accepted by ApJS and is in the press. The updated version includes the following changes: (1) Calibrating atmospheric parameters from APOGEE DR17, GALAH DR3, and RAVE DR6 on consistent scales. (2) Revised estimates for extinction and radius are now available for download at https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/oh5c65jql7pkwz92rc2ay/h?dl=0&rlkey=hskthdyqxm89jqy3k71e1lnvm
