Abstract
We construct a catalogue of stellar masses and ages for 696 680 red giant branch (RGB) stars, 180 436 primary red clump (RC) stars, and 120 907 secondary RC stars selected from the LAMOST DR8. The RGBs, primary RCs, and secondary RCs are identified with the large frequency spacing (Delta nu) and period spacing (Delta P) estimated from the LAMOST spectra with spectral signal-to-noise ratios (S/Ns) > 10 using a neural network method supervised with seismologic information from LAMOST-Kepler sample stars. The purity and completeness of both RGB and RC samples are better than 95% and 90%, respectively. The mass and age of RGBs and RCs are determined again with the neural network method by taking the LAMOST-Kepler giant stars as the training set. The typical uncertainties on stellar mass and age are 10% and 30%, respectively, for the RGB stellar sample. For RCs, the typical uncertainties on stellar mass and age are 9% and 24%, respectively. The RGB and RC stellar samples cover a large volume of the Milky Way (5 < R < 20 kpc and vertical bar Z vertical bar < 5 kpc), which are valuable data sets for various Galactic studies.
