Release note: Massive peak bagging of red giants in the Kepler field

The NASA satellite Kepler has gathered about 1420 days-long photometric time series for more than 20000 red giant stars. For about 6600 of them also APOGEE spectroscopic parameters are available, making the sample of high interest for various astrophysical investigations. To optimally exploit the full wealth of the seismic information, extraction of mode parameters of all significant individual frequencies is necessary. However, the complex structure of the mixed mode pattern makes it challenging to automate the peak bagging (i.e., the extraction of the individual mode parameters from the stars power density spectra). Even though several approaches have been successfully implemented, the available results are still limited to a handful of stars. Here I present frequencies, amplitudes, and lifetimes of more than a quarter of a million oscillation modes of the spherical degree l=0 to 3, which have been observed in 6179 Kepler red giants. The sample covers evolutionary stages from the lower red-giant branch to high up the asymptotic giant branch. The modes were extracted with the Automated Bayesian Peak-Bagging Algorithm (ABBA) and are publicly available at this https URL
