A New Catalog of Am-type Chemically Peculiar Stars Based on LAMOST

A total of about 21,600 Am candidates were detected with the MKCLASS code based on the low-resolution spectra of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope Data Releases 8 (v1.0), 9 (v0), and 10 (v0), which greatly expands the database of Am-type stars. By crossmatching the known...

description A total of about 21,600 Am candidates were detected with the MKCLASS code based on the low-resolution spectra of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope Data Releases 8 (v1.0), 9 (v0), and 10 (v0), which greatly expands the database of Am-type stars. By crossmatching the known catalogs of Am stars and our Am candidates with the AAVSO International Variable Star Index catalog, a catalog of the largest eclipsing Am binaries was obtained, which includes 754 binaries and provides a substantial sample with which to study Am stars. Fundamental information, including atmospheric parameters of the two kinds of candidates, are collected and listed in the catalogs, such as temperature, log g , and metallicity. We further carried out statistical analysis of the types of parameters. In our new catalog, there are some Am candidates with a temperature lower than 7000 K and some eclipsing Am binary candidates with a period of less than 1 day, which poses challenges to the slow rotation of stars classified as type Am observed in previous research. These candidates are significant and provide a great opportunity to explore the real relationship between Am-type stars’ peculiarity and slow stellar rotation. The Hertzsprung–Russell diagram of Am stars and the primary stars of eclipsing Am binary candidates indicate that a majority of the Am stars and almost all primary stars of binaries are in or around the main-sequence evolution stage.
