Abstract:Although red clump (RC) stars are easy to identify due to their stability of luminosity and color, about 20-50% are actually red giant branch (RGB) stars in the same location on the HR diagram. In this paper, a sample of 210,504 spectra for 184,318 primary RC (PRC) stars from the LAMOST DR7 is identified, which has a purity of higher than 90 percent. The RC and the RGB stars are successfully distinguished through LAMOST spectra(R∼1800 and SNR>10) by adopting the XGBoost ensemble learning algorithm, and the sec… Show more
