We present the determination of stellar parameters and individual elemental abundances for 6 million stars from $sim$8 million low-resolution ($Rsim1800$) spectra from LAMOST DR5. This is based on a modeling approach that we dub $The$ $Data$--$Driven$ $Payne$ ($DD$--$Payne$), which inherits essential ingredients from both {it The Payne} citep{Ting2019} and $The$ $Cannon$ citep{Ness2015}. It is a data-driven model that incorporates constraints from theoretical spectral models to ensure the derived abundance estimates are physically sensible. Stars in LAMOST DR5 that are in common with either GALAH DR2 or APOGEE DR14 are used to train a model that delivers stellar parameters ($T_{rm eff}$, $log g$, $V_{rm mic}$) and abundances for 16 elements (C, N, O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Ba) when applied to LAMOST spectra. Cross-validation and repeat observations suggest that, for ${rm S/N}_{rm pix}ge 50$, the typical internal abundance precision is 0.03--0.1,dex for the majority of these elements, with 0.2--0.3,dex for Cu and Ba, and the internal precision of $T_{rm eff}$ and $log g$ is better than 30,K and 0.07,dex, respectively. Abundance systematics at the $sim$0.1,dex level are present in these estimates, but are inherited from the high-resolution surveys training labels. For some elements, GALAH provides more robust training labels, for others, APOGEE. We provide flags to guide the quality of the label determination and to identify binary/multiple stars in LAMOST DR5. The abundance catalogs are publicly accessible via href{url}{http://dr5.lamost.org/doc/vac}.

LAMOST DR5 released more than 200,000 low resolution spectra of early-type stars with S/N>50. Searching for metallic-line (Am) stars in such a large database and study of their statistical properties are presented in this paper. Six machine learning algorithms were experimented with using known Am spectra, and both the empirical criteria method(Hou et al. 2015) and the MKCLASS package(Gray et al. 2016) were also investigated. Comparing their performance, the random forest (RF) algorithm won, not only because RF has high successful rate but also it can derives and ranks features. Then the RF was applied to the early type stars of DR5, and 15,269 Am candidates were picked out. Manual identification was conducted based on the spectral features derived from the RF algorithm and verified by experts. After manual identification, 9,372 Am stars and 1,131 Ap candidates were compiled into a catalog. Statistical studies were conducted including temperature distribution, space distribution, and infrared photometry. The spectral types of Am stars are mainly between F0 and A4 with a peak around A7, which is similar to previous works. With the Gaia distances, we calculated the vertical height Z from the Galactic plane for each Am star. The distribution of Z suggests that the incidence rate of Am stars shows a descending gradient with increasing jZj. On the other hand, Am stars do not show a noteworthy pattern in the infrared band. As wavelength gets longer, the infrared excess of Am stars decreases, until little or no excess in W1 and W2 bands.
The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) started median-resolution spectroscopic (MRS, R$sim$7500) survey since October 2018. The main scientific goals of MRS, including binary stars, pulsators, and other variable stars are launched with a time-domain spectroscopic survey. However, the systematic errors, including the bias induced from wavelength calibration and the systematic difference between different spectrographs have to be carefully considered during radial velocity measurement. In this work, we provide a technique to correct the systematics in the wavelength calibration based on the relative radial velocity measurements from LAMOST MRS spectra. We show that, for the stars with multi-epoch spectra, the systematic bias which is induced from the exposures of different nights can be well corrected for LAMOST MRS in each spectrograph. And the precision of radial velocity zero-point of multi-epoch time-domain observations reaches below 0.5 km/s . As a by-product, we also give the constant star candidates, which can be the secondary radial-velocity standard star candidates of LAMOST MRS time-domain surveys.
Since September 2018, LAMOST starts a new 5-year medium-resolution spectroscopic survey (MRS) using bright/gray nights. We present the scientific goals of LAMOST-MRS and propose a near optimistic strategy of the survey. A complete footprint is also p rovided. Not only the regular medium-resolution survey, but also a time-domain spectroscopic survey is being conducted since 2018 and will be end in 2023. According to the detailed survey plan, we expect that LAMOST-MRS can observe about 2 million stellar spectra with ~7500 and limiting magnitude of around G=15 mag. Moreover, it will also provide about 200 thousand stars with averagely 60-epoch observations and limiting magnitude of G~14 mag. These high quality spectra will give around 20 elemental abundances, rotational velocities, emission line profiles as well as precise radial velocity with uncertainty less than 1 km/s. With these data, we expect that LAMOST can effectively leverage sciences on stellar physics, e.g. exotic binary stars, detailed observation of many types of variable stars etc., planet host stars, emission nebulae, open clusters, young pre-main-sequence stars etc.
We present a data-driven method to estimate absolute magnitudes for O- and B-type stars from the LAMOST spectra, which we combine with {it Gaia} parallaxes to infer distance and binarity. The method applies a neural network model trained on stars wit h precise {it Gaia} parallax to the spectra and predicts $K_{rm s}$-band absolute magnitudes $M_{Ks}$ with a precision of 0.25,mag, which corresponds to a precision of 12% in spectroscopic distance. For distant stars (e.g. $>5$,kpc), the inclusion of constraints from spectroscopic $M_{Ks}$ significantly improves the distance estimates compared to inferences from {it Gaia} parallax alone. Our method accommodates for emission line stars by first identifying them via PCA reconstructions and then treating them separately for the $M_{Ks}$ estimation. We also take into account unresolved binary/multiple stars, which we identify through deviations in the spectroscopic $M_{Ks}$ from the geometric $M_{Ks}$ inferred from {it Gaia} parallax. This method of binary identification is particularly efficient for unresolved binaries with near equal-mass components and thus provides an useful supplementary way to identify unresolved binary or multiple-star systems. We present a catalog of spectroscopic $M_{Ks}$, extinction, distance, flags for emission lines, and binary classification for 16,002 OB stars from LAMOST DR5. As an illustration of the method, we determine the $M_{Ks}$ and distance to the enigmatic LB-1 system, where Liu et al. (2019) had argued for the presence of a black hole and incorrect parallax measurement, and we do not find evidence for errorneous {it Gaia} parallax.

Radial velocity (RV) is among the most fundamental physical quantities obtainable from stellar spectra and is rather important in the analysis of time-domain phenomena. The LAMOST Medium-Resolution Survey (MRS) DR7 contains 5 million single-exposure stellar spectra at spectral resolution $Rsim7,500$. However, the temporal variation of the RV zero-points (RVZPs) of the MRS survey, which makes the RVs from multiple epochs inconsistent, has not been addressed. In this paper, we measure the RVs of the 3.8 million single-exposure spectra (for 0.6 million stars) with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) higher than 5 based on cross-correlation function (CCF) method, and propose a robust method to self-consistently determine the RVZPs exposure-by-exposure for each spectrograph with the help of textit{Gaia} DR2 RVs. Such RVZPs are estimated for 3.6 million RVs and can reach a mean precision of $sim 0.38,mathrm{km,s}^{-1}$. The result of the temporal variation of RVZPs indicates that our algorithm is efficient and necessary before we use the absolute RVs to perform time-domain analysis. Validating the results with APOGEE DR16 shows that our absolute RVs can reach an overall precision of 0.84/0.80 $mathrm{km,s}^{-1}$ in the blue/red arm at $50<mathrm{SNR}<100$, while 1.26/1.99 $mathrm{km,s}^{-1}$ at $5<mathrm{SNR}<10$. The cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the standard deviations of multiple RVs ($N_mathrm{obs}geq 8$) for 678 standard stars reach 0.45/0.54, 1.07/1.39, and 1.45/1.86 $mathrm{km,s}^{-1}$ in the blue/red arm at 50%, 90%, and 95% levels, respectively. The catalogs of the RVs, RVZPs, and selected candidate RV standard stars are available at url{https://github.com/hypergravity/paperdata}.
