摘要
我们呈现从第二次数据释放(DR2)中挑选的白矮星候选体星表。我们使用斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)中光谱确认的白矮星样本来描绘这些对象在赫罗图中占据的整个空间。随后我们定义了一组绝对星等、颜色及若干质量标志上的截断,以去除大多数污染对象。最后,我们采用类似于早期SDSS测光星表中所呈现的方法,为通过初选的所有源计算其为白矮星的概率()。最终星表由颗具有计算所得的恒星组成,从中可挑选出星等范围内约颗高置信度白矮星候选体。通过将此星表与SDSS白矮星候选样本比较,我们估计对于 mag且 K、高银纬()的白矮星,完备率上限为%。然而,完备率在低银纬下降,且星表的星等极限随天空因扫描律而显著变化。我们还提供了样本内具有可用SDSS光谱的目标列表。我们利用该光谱样本刻画白矮星在赫罗图中观测分布的结构。
