Abstract:
The GSC-II white dwarf survey was designed to identify faint and high
proper motion objects, which we used to define a new and independent
sample of cool white dwarfs. With this survey we aim to derive new
constraints on the halo white dwarf space density. Also, these data
can provide information on the age of thick disk and halo through the
analysis of the luminosity function. On the basis of astrometric and
photometric parameters, we selected candidates with mu>0.28mas/yr
and RF>16 in an area of 1150 square degrees. Then, we separated
white dwarfs from late type dwarfs and subdwarfs by means of the
reduced proper motion diagram. Finally, spectroscopic follow-up
observations were carried out to confirm the white dwarf nature of the
selected candidates. We found 41 white dwarfs of which 24 are new
discoveries. Here we present the full sample and for each object
provide positions, absolute proper motions, photometry, and
spectroscopy.
Description:
The GSC-II white dwarf survey catalogue contains astrometry photometry
and classification for 41 cool white dwarfs.
For each object equatorial coordinates, absolute proper motions,
photographic photometry (BJ, RF), SDSS and 2MASS photometry,
spectroscopic classification, and cross-match with Luyten's catalogue
(LHS, NLTT) are given. Position accuracy is in the range of 0.2"-0.3"
while proper motions have a typical total error between 2 and 6mas/yr.
Magnitudes are between 15.1<RF<19.7 and colors in the range
-0.1<BJ-RF<1.9. Proper motions are in the range (0.2-1.1)mas/yr.
