Figure 3: Left panel: RPM diagram for a GSC-II region located towards the NGP. Stellar isochrones and WD cooling tracks are plotted with different lines (see text). Right panel: RPM diagram for all the candidates selected in the 1150 square degrees surveyed for this study. Dots show the unobserved targets, while triangles and asterisks are the spectroscopically confirmed WDs and contaminating (sub)dwarfs, respectively. Crosses indicate stars unclassified due to the low signal to noise of their spectra. |

Figure 4: Optical spectra. All the spectra are normalized at 5500 Å, shifted vertically from each other by arbitrary units, and ordered by increasing right ascension. Asterisks indicate spectra not fully calibrated, shown for classification only. |
