Atmospheric parameters of 122 non-composite spectra subdwarf stars were measured by fitting the profiles of hydrogen (H) and helium (He) lines with synthetic spectra from non-LTE model atmospheres. Most of the sdB stars scatter near the Extreme Horizontal Branch in the $T_{\\rm eff}-\\log{g}$ diagram and two well defined groups can be outlined. A clustering of He-enriched sdO stars appears near $T_{\\rm eff}=45\\,000$ K and $\\log(g) = 5.8$. The sdB population separates into several nearly parallel sequences in the $T_{\\rm eff}-{\\rm He}$ abundance diagram with clumps corresponding to those in the $T_{\\rm eff}-\\log{g}$ diagram. Over $38\\,000$ K (sdO) stars show abundance extremes, they are either He-rich or He-deficient and we observe only a few stars in the $ -1 < \\log(y) < 0$ abundance range. With increasing temperature these extremes become less prominent and the He abundance approaches to $\\log(y)\\sim-0.5$. A unique property of our sample is that it covers a large range in apparent magnitudes and galactic latitudes, therefore it contains a mix of stars from different populations and galactic environments. Our results are consistent with the findings of Hirsch (2009) and we conclude that He-rich and He-deficient sdB stars ($\\log(y) < 1$) probably origin from different populations. We also find that most sdO and sdB stars lie in a narrow strip in the luminosity and helium abundance plane, which suggests that these atmospheric parameters are correlated.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-01-14T07:27:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "atmospheric parameters", "lamost dr1", "identified hot subdwarf stars", "single-lined spectra", "sdb stars" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
