Description

We provide two catalogs: an extended one that includes all original parameters and a filtered result one, containing 476 and 44 parameters, respectively. 


The parameters in the extended catalog are categorized into nine groups:
1. Light curve analysis results, with parameter names ending in "LC". These originate from four light curve analysis studies (2020PASJ...72..103L, 2020ApJS..247...50S, 2021ApJS..254...10L, 2023MNRAS.525.4596D).
2. The ninth catalogue of spectroscopic binary orbits, with parameter names ending in "SB9". The source is 2004A&A...424..727P.
3. Cluster membership determination in Gaia DR3, with parameter names ending in "CLU". The source is 2023A&A...675A..68V.
4. Atmospheric parameters from Gaia DR3, with parameter names ending in "AP" or "APa". The source is 2023A&A...674A..26C.
5. Atmospheric parameters from LAMOST DR11, with parameter names ending in "Lamost". The source is 2015RAA....15.1095L.
6. Primary parameters derived using the Teff-Density-Fe/H and the MIST database, with parameter names ending in "T1Rho1FeH-MIST". The source is this work.
7. Primary parameters derived using the Teff-Density-Fe/H and the PARSEC database, with parameter names ending in "T1Rho1FeH-PARSEC". The source is this work.
8. Primary parameters derived using the Teff-logg-Fe/H and the PARSEC database, with parameter names ending in "T1loggFeH-MIST". The source is this work.
9. Filtered or corrected stellar parameters based on all the aforementioned catalogs, with parameter names ending in "Hand". The source is this work.
