We report the discovery of 9 089 new spectroscopically confirmed white dwarfs and subdwarfs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 10. We obtain Teff, log g and mass for hydrogen atmosphere white dwarf stars (DAs) and helium atmosphere white dwarf stars (DBs), and estimate the calcium/helium abundances for the white dwarf stars with metallic lines (DZs) and carbon/helium for carbon dominated spectra DQs. We found 1 central star of a planetary nebula, 2 new oxygen spectra on helium atmosphere white dwarfs, 71 DQs, 42 hot DO/PG1159s, 171 white dwarf+main sequence star binaries, 206 magnetic DAHs, 327 continuum dominated DCs, 397 metal polluted white dwarfs, 450 helium dominated white dwarfs, 647 subdwarfs and 6888 new hydrogen dominated white dwarf stars.

New white dwarf and subdwarf stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12 (2015, methodology): “Our selection of white dwarf candidates among DR12 objects was similar to that reported for DR10 (Kepler et al. 2015).”
Magnetic White Dwarfs (2015, background): “…increased the number of known MWDs with fields B in the range 2− 1 000MG from fewer than 70, as listed in Wickramasinghe and Ferrario (2000) to over 600 in 2015 (see Gänsicke et al. 2002; Schmidt et al. 2003; Vanlandingham et al. 2005; Külebi et al. 2009; Kepler et al. 2013, 2015, and this work).”
AGaiaData Release 2 catalogue of white dwarfs and a comparison with SDSS (2018, background): “…grown from just over 2 000 (McCook & Sion 1999) to well over 30 000 (Eisenstein et al. 2006; Kleinman et al. 2013; Gentile Fusillo et al. 2015a; Kepler et al. 2015, 2016c; Gentile Fusillo et al. 2017b; Raddi et al. 2017), and it is clear that with the next order-of-magnitude increase in the…”
Pulsating white dwarfs: new insights (2019, methodology): “With the consistent determination of the atmospheric parameters by Koester and Kepler (2015), the group led by Vanderbosch et al. (2018) increased the number of known DBV pulsators from 23 to 46, but their results are not yet published.”
MESA ISOCHRONES AND STELLAR TRACKS (MIST). I. SOLAR-SCALED MODELS (2016, background): “2 M (Mf ∼ 0.6 M ) is marginally consistent with the peak of the galactic disk WD mass function near ∼ 0.6 M (Liebert et al. 2005; Kleinman et al. 2013; Kepler et al. 2015), although a full model that folds in the age and metallicity distributions as well as the IMF weights will be required for a…”
