利用Sloan数字巡天ugriz星等设置UBVRI测光零点

Setting UBVRI Photometric Zero-Points Using Sloan Digital Sky Survey ugriz Magnitudes

Taylor S. Chonis, C. Martin Gaskell

摘要:

本文讨论了利用Sloan数字巡天(SDSS)的ugriz点扩散函数(PSF)测光方法对UBVRI CCD图像进行零点设置的问题。通过与Landolt(1992)标准和我们自己的测光比较,我们发现在g、r、i ~ 14.5附近B、V、R和I零点有相当突然的变化,在u ~ 16处U零点有相当突然的变化。这些变化对应于由于SDSS PSF通量的饱和而存在显著插值的地方。对于g,r > 19.5的恒星,似乎还有另一个小得多的系统效应。后一种效应与小的Malmquist偏差一致。由于较亮恒星的PSF通量的困难,我们建议ugriz和UBVRI测光的比较应该只对g,r和i在14.5 - 19.5范围内,u在16 - 19.5范围内的不饱和恒星进行。给出了CCD图像UBVRI零点的设置方法和UBVRI与Ugriz的转换方程。

英文摘要:

We discuss the use of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) ugriz point-spread function (PSF) photometry for setting the zero points of UBVRI CCD images. From a comparison with the Landolt (1992) standards and our own photometry we find that there is a fairly abrupt change in B, V, R, & I zero points around g, r, i ~ 14.5, and in the U zero point at u ~ 16. These changes correspond to where there is significant interpolation due to saturation in the SDSS PSF fluxes. There also seems to be another, much smaller systematic effect for stars with g, r > 19.5. The latter effect is consistent with a small Malmquist bias. Because of the difficulties with PSF fluxes of brighter stars, we recommend that comparisons of ugriz and UBVRI photometry should only be made for unsaturated stars with g, r and i in the range 14.5 - 19.5, and u in the range 16 - 19.5. We give a prescription for setting the UBVRI zero points for CCD images, and general equations for transforming from ugriz to UBVRI.
