Spectro-phot. distances of ~ 300000 SEGUE stars

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present a new fully data-driven approach to derive spectro-photometric distances based on artificial neural network.

Description

The method was developed and tested on SEGUE data and will serve as a reference for the Contributed Data Product (SPdist) of the WEAVE survey. With this method, the relative precision on the distances is of ~13%.

The catalogue of more than 300000 SEGUE stars for which we have derived spectro-photometric distances is publicly available on the Vizier service of the Centre de Donnees de Strasbourg. With this catalogue of stars with distances, line-of-sight velocity, and Gaia proper motions, we have been able to identify stars belonging to the Cetus stellar stream in the integrals of motion space. With the properties of the Cetus stream that we derived from them, we search for stars from the blue horizontal and from the red giant branches along its orbital plane.

With them, we ultimately found that the Cetus stream have a total stellar mass of ~1.5*10^6^M_{sun}_ and present prominent distance gradient of 15kpc over the ~100deg. that it covers on the sky. Additionally, we also report the discovery of a second structure, almost parallel to the Cetus stream, covering ~50deg. of the sky, that could potentially be a stellar stream formed by the tidal disruption of a globular cluster that was orbiting around the Cetus progenitor.
