摘要：

We describe an application of the SEGUE Stellar Parameter Pipeline (SSPP) to medium-resolution stellar spectra obtained by the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), in order to determine estimates of the stellar atmospheric parameters (T-eff, log g, and [Fe/H]) and the abundance ratios ([alpha/Fe] and [C/Fe]). By performing a coordinate match with the LAMOST stellar database, we selected stars with LAMOST spectra in common with stars having available spectroscopy from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE), and the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (SEGUE). We ran the selected LAMOST stellar spectra from each survey through SSPP, and compared the stellar parameters down to signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 10 and chemical abundances down to S/N = 20 derived by SSPP with those determined by the APOGEE, RAVE, and SEGUE software pipelines. Our results show that the derived stellar parameters generally agree quite well, even though there exist some small systematic offsets with small scatter in Teff, log g, and [Fe/H], due to the use of different temperature scales, abundance scales, and calibrations adopted by each survey. Comparison of the [alpha/Fe] determinations for LAMOST spectra suggests no sign of significant systematic offsets (<-0.04 dex), with a small scatter (<0.08 dex) relative to stars in common with APOGEE and SEGUE. The [C/Fe] estimates determined for the LAMOST spectra also exhibit good agreement, with a very small offset (similar to 0.01 dex) and scatter (similar to 0.12 dex) relative to the SEGUE stars, while there exists about a -0.19 dex offset, with a small scatter of similar to 0.13 dex, for the APOGEE sample. Due to the existence of small offsets in the stellar parameters and abundances among difference data sets, optimal results when combining the different data sets will be obtained by removing the offsets. Once accomplished, the stellar parameters and chemical abundances estimated by SSPP from the LAMOST stellar spectra should provide a reliable database for studies of the Galactic disk and halo systems.
