Descripción
We perform an analysis of spectra and photometry for 22,770 stars included in the third data release (DR3) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We derive atmospheric parameters and distances. Our analysis procedures are throughly checked using three recently published spectroscopic libraries of nearby stars and alternative methods. The SDSS sample covers a range in stellar brightness of 14
