M Subdwarf Research. III. Spectroscopic Diagnostics for Breaking Parameter Degeneracy

Résumé

To understand the parameter degeneracy of M subdwarf spectra at low resolution, we assemble a large number of spectral features in the wavelength range 0.6-2.5 μm with band strength quantified by narrowband indices. Based on the index trends of BT-Settl model sequences, we illustrate how the main atmospheric parameters (T eff, log g, [M/H], and [α/Fe]) affect each spectral feature differently. Furthermore, we propose a four-step process to determine the four parameters sequentially, which extends the basic idea proposed by Jao et al. Each step contains several spectral features that break the degeneracy effect when determining a specific stellar parameter. Finally, the feasibility of each spectroscopic diagnostic with different spectral quality is investigated. The result is resolution-independent down to R ~ 200.
