| contents | The availability of large datasets containing stellar parameters, distances, and extinctions for stars in the Milky Way, particularly within the Galactic disk, is essential for advancing our understanding of the Galaxy's stellar populations, structure, kinematics, and chemical evolution. In this study, we present a catalog of stellar parameters, including effective temperature (\teff), metallicity (\feh), absolute magnitudes ($M_{G}$), distances ($d$), and reddening values (\ebr), for a sample of 141 million stars from the SkyMapper Southern Survey (SMSS). These parameters are derived using the SPar algorithm, which employs a fitting procedure to match multi-band photometric observations and estimate the stellar properties (\teff, \feh, $M_G$, $d$, and \ebr) on an individual star basis, following the methodology outlined in our previous work. This study successfully determines stellar parameters and extinction values simultaneously for stars located in high and low Galactic latitudes. The resulting stellar parameters and extinction values are in good agreement with results from other studies, demonstrating the robustness of our method. We derive a temperature dispersion of 195\,K and a metallicity dispersion of 0.31\,dex when comparing our results with spectroscopic data. The catalog produced in this work provides a valuable resource for future research on the Galactic metallicity distribution function, the structure of the Galaxy, three-dimensional extinction mapping, and other related astrophysical topics. |
