Exploring the age dependent properties of M and L dwarfs using Gaia and SDSS: The Sample

Sample from "Exploring the age dependent properties of M and L dwarfs using Gaia and SDSS". We present a sample of 74,216 M and L dwarfs constructed from two existing catalogs of cool dwarfs spectroscopically identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We cross-matched the SDSS catalog with Gaia DR2 to obtain parallaxes and proper motions and modified the quality cuts suggested by the Gaia Collaboration to make them suitable for late-M and L dwarfs.
