Spectroscopic survey of bright white dwarfs J/ApJ/743/138 ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/743/138 doi:10.26093/cds/vizier.17430138 CDS Gianninas A. Bergeron P. Ruiz M.T. 2017-11-29T11:49:24Z 2013-06-18T10:01:13Z CDS support team CDS, Observatoire de Strasbourg, 11 rue de l'Universite, F-67000 Strasbourg, France cds-question@unistra.fr white-dwarf-stars stellar-spectral-types effective-temperature surveys spectroscopy We have conducted a spectroscopic survey of over 1300 bright (V<=17.5), hydrogen-rich white dwarfs based largely on the last published version of the McCook & Sion (1999ApJS..121....1M, Cat. III/235) catalog. The complete results from our survey, including the spectroscopic analysis of over 1100 DA white dwarfs, are presented. High signal-to-noise ratio optical spectra were obtained for each star and were subsequently analyzed using our standard spectroscopic technique where the observed Balmer line profiles are compared to synthetic spectra computed from the latest generation of model atmospheres appropriate for these stars. First, we present the spectroscopic content of our sample, which includes many misclassifications as well as several DAB, DAZ, and magnetic white dwarfs. Next, we look at how the new Stark broadening profiles affect the determination of the atmospheric parameters. When necessary, specific models and analysis techniques are used to derive the most accurate atmospheric parameters possible. In particular, we employ M dwarf templates to obtain better estimates of the atmospheric parameters for those white dwarfs that are in DA+dM binary systems. 2011ApJ...743..138G https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/743/138 Catalog Research IsServedBy TAP VizieR generic service IsServedBy Conesearch service related-to III/235 : Spectroscopically Identified White Dwarfs (McCook+, 2008) III/137 : Spectroscopically Identified Hot Subdwarf Stars (Kilkenny+ 1988) II/207 : Palomar-Green catalog UV-excess stellar objects (Green+ 1986) J/ApJS/204/5 : SDSS DR7 white dwarf catalog (Kleinman+, 2013) J/ApJ/730/128 : Spectroscopy of DA WD from the SDSS-DR4 (Tremblay+, 2011) J/ApJS/197/38 : The WIRED survey.
