Description
This catalog contains 76,565 AGN-host decomposed spectral measurements for all quasars with z<0.8 in SDSS DR16Q. Our prior-informed decomposition method significantly improved the decomposition success rate from less than 60% to 94%. For the first time, we perform the AGN-host spectral decomposition on survey scale catalog.
Our spectral decomposition results are highly consistent to those of HSC image decomposition. Our catalog suggests that an average host galaxy contribution at 5100A is 38.8%, which would lead to an overestimation of 0.215 dex in L5100 and 0.219 dex in black hole mass if the host is not removed. The Dn4000 and stellar velocity dispersion measurements from the decomposed host galaxy spectra are also provided.
