Supplemental catalogs for "The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Sample Characterization"
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We have compiled additional properties for the SDSS-RM sample in several ancillary catalogs. Below are the notes on these supplemental catalogs. There are .readme files for each additional catalog. We also include the quality assurance plots for the global spectral fits. QA-0000-56837.ps.gz The full set of 849 quality assessment plots for the global spectral fitting. Each plot includes a top panel showing the continuum (brown) and Fe II (blue) model components; the red line is the sum of the two. The cyan diamonds are pixels masked as absorption or bad pixels. The gray brackets near the top of the panel indicate the windows used for the continuum+Fe II fit. The bottom panels present the emission line fits for five line complexes. allqso_sdssrm.fits A FITS table of all 1214 known quasars in the 7 square degree SDSS-RM field. Only 849 of them received a fiber in the SDSS-RM spectroscopy. This table lists the basic target information of these quasars. QSObased_Expanded_SDSSRM_107.fits The narrow MgII/FeII absorber catalog for SDSS-RM quasars, following the methodology outlined in Zhu & Ménard (2013). Each entry corresponds to one quasar. The search for narrow absorbers includes systems that have absorber redshift close to the quasar systemic redshift (|dz|<0.04). MgII absorbers blueshifted from the quasar by dz>0.04 and also redward of CIV by dz>0.02 are of high purity. MgII absorbers with |dz|<0.04 or those at wavelength blueward of CIV, or those with FeII detection but no MgII detections (likely due to bad pixels), while included in this catalog, should be treated with caution, and may contain a small fraction of false positives (mainly CIV absorbers). For convenience, we also provide a version of the absorber catalog organized by absorbers (Expanded_SDSSRM_107.fits), i.e., each entry corresponds to one absorber system. rmqso32_aegis_multi_lambda.fits Multi-wavelength data compiled from Nandra et al. (2015) or 32 SDSS-RM quasars in the AEGIS field. spitzer_seip_rm_match_1.5arcsec.fits Spitzer IRAC and MIPS data from the Spitzer Enhanced Imaging Products (SEIP) source list for 176 SDSS-RM quasars, with a matching radius of 1.5 arcseconds. This file also compiles infrared fluxes (if available) from 2MASS (Skrutskie et al. 2006). spec_2014_BALrobust.csv List of 95 BALQSOs (including mini-BALQSOs) identified from the first-year coadded spectroscopy. This file includes BAL flags on CIV, AlIII, MgII, and FeII/FeIII. It also includes notes on individual objects. PS1_MD07_LC_sdssrm.fits PS1 Medium Deep light curves for the SDSS-RM quasars used to compute PS1_NMAG_OK and PS1_RMS_MAG in the main catalog. Note this is the unofficial release of the PS1 MD07 data, which was approved by the PS1 collaboration. These photometric light curves may differ slightly from the final official release of the PS1 Medium Deep field data.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
