摘要:

我们提出了一套新的光度变换的观测与斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)0.5米光度望远镜(PT)和SDSS 2.5米望远镜在美国新墨西哥州的阿帕奇点天文台的红星。美国海军天文台标准的夜间PT观测用于确定SDSS 2.5-m测光的消光改正和校准项。PT和原生SDSS 2.5-m { \it ugriz}测光之间的系统差异需要在两个系统之间进行转换,而这两个系统以前对于最红的恒星没有定义。通过与PT和SDSS 2.5-m观测到的$\sim 43,000$星相匹配,我们将现有的关系扩展到包括颜色为$0.6 \le r-i \le 1.7$的低质量星。这些修正将使我们能够将以前用PT观测到的明亮的低质量三角视差恒星的测光放在2.5-m系统上。我们提出了新的转换方程,并讨论了这些数据的应用,未来的低质量恒星的研究使用SDSS。

英文摘要:

We present a new set of photometric transformations for red stars observed with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) 0.5-m Photometric Telescope (PT) and the SDSS 2.5-m telescope at the Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico. Nightly PT observations of US Naval Observatory standards are used to determine extinction corrections and calibration terms for SDSS 2.5-m photometry. Systematic differences between the PT and native SDSS 2.5-m {\it ugriz} photometry require conversions between the two systems which have previously been undefined for the reddest stars. By matching $\sim 43,000$ stars observed with both the PT and SDSS 2.5-m, we extend the present relations to include low-mass stars with colors $0.6 \le r-i \le 1.7$. These corrections will allow us to place photometry of bright, low-mass trigonometric parallax stars previously observed with the PT on the 2.5-m system. We present new transformation equations and discuss applications of these data to future low-mass star studies using the SDSS.
