Massive Acquisition of Ultraviolet Color Excess Information from GALEX and UVOT Bands (v2.0)
Mingxu Sun
This dataset (v2.0) contains ultraviolet and optical photometric data from GALEX, UVOT, and Gaia, along with stellar parameters (T_{eff}, [Fe/H], log g) derived from spectroscopic surveys and Gaia XP spectra. It provides Gaia G_{BP}G_{RP} color excess measurements for 92,142,820 sources, as well as color excess measurements for 11,624,802 and 65,531 stars in GALEX/near-UV and far-UV bands, and 336,633, 137,739, and 253,271 stars in UVOT/uvw1, uvm2, and uvw2 bands. Additionally, it includes extensive R_V measurements for a large number of stars and constructs ultraviolet extinction maps with unprecedented coverage, offering critical insights into interstellar extinction laws and dust distribution.
v2.0 Update: This version corrects coordinate matching issues present in the stellar parameters, optical band information, and color excess from the previous release. A new column, "stellar parameter source flag" (par_flg), has been added to identify the origin of stellar parameters:
'XP': Stellar parameters from Zhang et al. (2023) based on Gaia BP/RP (XP) spectra
'L': Stellar parameters from LAMOST spectroscopy
'G': Stellar parameters from GALAH spectroscopy
'A': Stellar parameters from APOGEE spectroscopy
This dataset is applicable for multi-band interstellar extinction studies, 3D dust distribution modeling, and research on correlations between stellar parameters and extinction.
