Description

GSPC-WD catalogue 

This catalogue contains objects described in detail in Gaia Collaboration, Montegriffo et al., 2022, A&A, in press. The description of the catalogue from the paper is given below.

We have made the GSPC-WD synthetic photometry available
as a stand-alone catalogue27, including SDSS, JKC and JPLUS
XPSP and the DA classification probability. The photometry
of the individual J-PAS bands, used in the random forest
analysis, is not included due to their low signal-to-noise. For
WDs classified in SDSS, a subset of which were used in the
training/validation of the random forest algorithim, we also include
the full SDSS classifications as a separate column in the
GSPC-WD catalogue table. When the synthetic spectral bands are very narrow a
significant number of sources will have low signal-to-noise. Furthermore,
at the edges of the Gaia spectral range, away from
the peak of the effective area, this is also true for some stars
in the wider bands included in the catalogue. In some extreme
cases, there is no significant detection of the object. The random
forest algorithm is only able to classify a WD when valid
flux measurements are available for every photometric band we
include in the analysis. Therefore, no classification is recorded
in the catalogue when data for one or more bands is "missing".
In total 15,003 WDs from the total sample of 101,783 are not
classified. For completeness, we have made all the flux measurements
and corresponding magnitudes available for all objects in
the GSPC-WD. Hence magnitude/fluxes with very large errors,
up to several times the flux itself, are included. However, where
fluxes are negative, the magnitudes are not defined. When using
the catalogue, appropriate signal-to-noise cuts are advisable for
the specific work in-hand, to ensure data quality.

Total number of objects = 101,786; Format 1 object per row, 73 columns of data as listed below.
