SDSS半导体的本征性质

The Intrinsic Properties of SDSS Galaxies

Ariyeh H. Maller, Andreas A. Berlind, Michael R. Blanton, David W. Hogg

摘要:

观测到的星系性质随倾角而变化;对于大多数应用,我们宁愿有与倾角无关的性质,即内禀性质。确定倾斜修正的一种方法是考虑大样本的星系,研究这些星系的观测属性如何依赖于倾斜,然后去除这种依赖性以恢复固有属性。我们进行这样的分析,从斯隆数字巡天已匹配的星系从两微米全天巡天星系选择。我们确定这些星系的星系光度和Sersic指数的函数的倾斜修正。在g波段,这些修正高达1.2等,在我们的样本中所有星系的中值为0.3等。我们发现,除了在$u$波段外,这些修正对星系光度的依赖性很小,但对星系的Sersic指数有很强的依赖性。我们发现,在-22.75 < M_K <-17.75的范围内,从观测色到内禀色,红蓝比从1:1变化到1:2。我们还讨论了如何调查的完整性和光度红移应确定时,考虑到观察到的和内在的属性不同。最后,我们研究是否以前的恒星质量的测定给出了一个内在的量或一个依赖于星系的倾斜。

英文摘要:

The observed properties of galaxies vary with inclination; for most applications we would rather have properties that are independent of inclination, intrinsic properties. One way to determine inclination corrections is to consider a large sample of galaxies, study how the observed properties of these galaxies depend on inclination and then remove this dependence to recover the intrinsic properties. We perform such an analysis for galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey which have been matched to galaxies from the Two-Micron All Sky Survey. We determine inclination corrections for these galaxies as a function of galaxy luminosity and Sersic index. In the g-band these corrections reach as as high as 1.2 mag and have a median value of 0.3 mag for all galaxies in our sample. We find that the corrections show little dependence on galaxy luminosity, except in the $u$ band, but are strongly dependent on galaxy Sersic index. We find that the ratio of red-to-blue galaxies changes from 1:1 to 1:2 when going from observed to intrinsic colors for galaxies in the range -22.75 < M_K < -17.75. We also discuss how survey completeness and photometric redshifts should be determined when taking into account that observed and intrinsic properties differ. Finally, we examine whether previous determinations of stellar mass give an intrinsic quantity or one that depends on galaxy inclination.
