Abstract:
We present the Mid-infrared stellar Diameters and Fluxes compilation
Catalogue (MDFC) dedicated to long-baseline interferometry at
mid-infrared wavelengths (3-13um). It gathers data for half a
million stars, i.e. nearly all the stars of the Hipparcos-Tycho
catalogue whose spectral type is reported in the SIMBAD data base. We
cross-match 26 data bases to provide basic information, binarity
elements, angular diameter, magnitude and flux in the near and
mid-infrared, as well as flags that allow us to identify the potential
calibrators. The catalogue covers the entire sky with 465857 stars,
mainly dwarfs and giants from B to M spectral types closer than 18kpc.
The smallest reported values reach 0.16uJy in L and 0.1uJy in N for
the flux, and 2-microarcsec for the angular diameter. We build four
lists of calibrator candidates for the L and Nbands suitable with the
Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) sub- and main arrays using
the MATISSE instrument. We identify 1621 candidates for L and 44
candidates for N with the Auxiliary Telescopes (ATs), 375 candidates
for both bands with the ATs, and 259 candidates for both bands with
the Unit Telescopes (UTs). Predominantly cool giants, these sources
are small and bright enough to belong to the primary lists of
calibrator candidates. In the near future, we plan to measure their
angular diameter with 1 per cent accuracy.
Description:
The Mid-infrared stellar Diameters and Fluxes compilation Catalogue
(MDFC) is dedicated to long-baseline interferometry in the L, M, and N
mid-infrared (MIR) bands. It provides basic information, binarity
elements, angular diameter estimates and measurements, magnitudes and
flux densities for 465 857 stars, as well as flags that allow us to
identify among them the potential calibrators useable in the MIR. It
includes all the stars of the Hipparcos-Tycho catalogue (Cat. I/239)
whose spectral type is reported in the SIMBAD database that have at
least one angular diameter estimate or measurement reported at visible
and infrared wavelengths.
As inputs for the angular diameter, we use the following catalogues:
- the JMMC Stellar Diameters Catalogue (JSDC, Cat. II/346), that
reports estimates of limb-darkened disk (LDD) and uniform-disk (UD)
angular diameters from B to N, providing a flag for each star
indicating a degree of confidence in choosing it as a calibrator
optical long-baseline interferometry;
- the JMMC Measured Stellar Diameters Catalogue (JMDC, Cat. II/345),
that reports direct measurements of UD and LDD diameters, made with
"direct" techniques (optical interferometry, intensity interferometry,
lunar occultations) from the visible to the MIR; - the VLTI/MIDI list
of calibrator candidates (Verhoelst 2005), which reports estimates of
LDD diameter with fitted effective temperatures; - the Cohen's list of
spectrophotometric standards (Cohen et al. 1999), which reports
estimates of LDD diameter derived from calibrated spectral templates.
Spectral type and equatorial coordinates are taken from the SIMBAD
database. We report the effective temperature and the stellar physical
radius from the Gaia DR2 catalogue (Cat. I/345/gaia2), and the
distance from its complement (Cat. I/347/gaia2dis). Radius and
distance give a new (and rough) estimate of the LDD diameter. Binarity
observational data is reported from the Washington Double Star
Catalogue (Cat. B/wds).
The near-infrared (J, H, K) magnitudes are reported in the 2MASS
Catalogue (Cat. II/246). The MIR (L, M, N) flux density values are the
median of the flux measurements and estimates reported in:
- the AllWISE survey (Cat. II/328), superseded by the WISE values
(Cat. II/311) for [W1] < 8 and [W2] < 7;
- the GLIMPSE Source Catalogue(Cat. II/293);
- the AKARI/IRC All-Sky Survey Point Source Catalogue (Cat. II/297);
- the MSX6C Infrared Point Source Catalogue (Cat. V/114);
- the IRAS PSC/FSC Combined Catalogue (Cat. II/338), completed by the
IRAS Faint Source Catalogue (Cat. II/156A), and the Point Sources
Catalogue (Cat. II/125);
- the COBE DIRBE Point Source Catalogue (Cat. J/ApJS/154/673);
- the UBVRIJKLMNH Photoelectric Catalogue (Cat. II/7A);
- the Catalogue of 10-micron Celestial Objects (Cat. II/53).
- the VLTI/MIDI list of calibrator candidates;
- the tables of Parameters and IR excesses of Gaia DR1 stars (Cat.
J/MNRAS/471/770);
- the blackbody model at 3.5, 4.8, and 10.5um, using the values of
effective temperature and angular diameter reported in the MIDI list
and the Gaia DR2;
- the complete set of Cohen's standards
(www.gemini.edu/sciops/instruments/mir/Cohen_list.html).
The reliability of the MIR flux median value is estimated by the
median absolute deviation from the median (MAD) or the range.
Besides the JSDC flag which identifies the bad candidates to be used
as interferometric calibrator because of their uncertain reconstructed
angular diameter estimation, their close binarity, and/or their
suspect object type, a complementary flag is defined to identify stars
showing IR excess, extent, and/or mid-IR likely variability, see Notes
(1) and (2). The combination of these two flags signals potential
calibrators (201200 stars, i.e. 43% of the entries of the MDFC
catalogue) useable by the long-baseline interferometers operating in
the MIR, such as the VLTI/MATISSE.

Note (1): The values of Teff-GAIA and Diam-GAIA were determined only from the
three broad-band photometric measurements. The strong degeneracy between Teff
and extinction/reddening when using the broad-band photometry necessitates
strong assumptions in order to estimate their values (see e.g. Casagrande &
VandenBerg 2018MNRAS.479L.102C 2018MNRAS.479L.102C). One should thus be very careful in using
these astrophysical parameters and refer to the papers and online
documentation for guidance.
Note (2): CalFlag is a bit field:
bit 0 is set if the chi-square associated with the reconstructed log diameter
is above 5 (see Appendix A.2 of Chelli et al. 2016A&A...589A.112C 2016A&A...589A.112C);
bit 1 is set if the star is a known astrometric double in WDS (Cat. B/wds)
with separation inferior to 1 arcsec;
bit 2 is set if the star is, according to SIMBAD's object types, one of the
following codes: "C*", "S*", "Pu*", "RR*", "Ce*", "dS*", "RV*", "WV*",
"bC*", "cC*", "gD*", "SX*", "Mi*", "SB*", "Al*", which signals a possible
binarity or pulsating stars.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CalFlag | 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chi2 > 5 | no yes no yes no yes no yes
Binary with sep < 1 | no no yes yes no no yes yes
"Bad" object Type | no no no no yes yes yes yes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although none of these bit flags prevent the limb-darkened disk (LDD)
estimate to be accurate, they imply some caution in choosing this star as
a calibrator star for OLBI.
Note (3): IRflag is a bit field :
bit 0 is set if the star shows an IR-excess, identified thanks to :
* the K-[22] color index defined in 4 different J-H parts (see
Wu et al. 2013ApJS..208...29W 2013ApJS..208...29W)
* the mid-IR excess statistic XMIR and its optical extinction AV
(XMIR>1.15+AV/100; see McDonald et al., 2017MNRAS.471..770M 2017MNRAS.471..770M)
bit 1 is set if the star shows an IR-extent sources, identified thanks
to its AllWISE-ex and AKARI-X09 flags;
bit 2 is set is the star is likely variable in the MIR, identified thanks
the AllWISE/W1, W2, and W3, the MSX/B1, B2, A and C, the IRAS/12, and the
10-micron Catalog variability flags.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IRflag | 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IR excess | no yes no yes no yes no yes
IR extent | no no yes yes no no yes yes
MIR var. | no no no no yes yes yes yes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IRflag is a confidence flag combining information on IR excess, extent,
and variability. It indicates probable presence of extended features at
IR wavelengths.
