摘要:

我们提出了一种算法({\scshape米德},为"映射消光对距离"),这将确定内在($r' - i'$)的颜色,消光,和距离为早期-A到K4恒星提取的IPHAS $r'/i'/\Halpha$光度数据库。这些数据可以被合并起来,以绘制横跨北银河平面的三维灭绝图。IPHAS数据库的规模很大($\sim 200$百万个独特的天体),它所包含的数字测光的准确性及其微弱的极限星等($r' \sim 20$)允许以精细的角度($ \sim 10 $ arcmin)和距离($\sim 0.1$~kpc)分辨率绘制消光图,直到太阳圈以外10 kpc的距离。太阳圈内的高变红有时会使这个范围下降到$\sim 2$ kpc。在角度和深度上,分辨率都大大超过了以前经验性的3D消光图,使我们能够更详细地研究银道面的结构。{\scshape mead}考虑了测量星等限制、光度测量误差、未解析ISM子结构和二值性的影响。在典型的银盘范围内,金属丰度变化的影响很小。通过使用蒙特卡罗抽样技术创建的模拟光度法,测试{\scshape mead}的准确性和可靠性。该算法的成功在选定的字段上得到了证明,并将结果与文献进行了比较。

英文摘要:

We present an algorithm ({\scshape mead}, for `Mapping Extinction Against Distance') which will determine intrinsic ($r' - i'$) colour, extinction, and distance for early-A to K4 stars extracted from the IPHAS $r'/i'/\Halpha$ photometric database. These data can be binned up to map extinction in three dimensions across the northern Galactic Plane. The large size of the IPHAS database ($\sim 200$ million unique objects), the accuracy of the digital photometry it contains and its faint limiting magnitude ($r' \sim 20$) allow extinction to be mapped with fine angular ($ \sim 10 $ arcmin) and distance ($\sim 0.1$ ~kpc) resolution to distances of up to 10 kpc, outside the Solar Circle. High reddening within the Solar Circle on occasion brings this range down to $\sim 2$ kpc. The resolution achieved, both in angle and depth, greatly exceeds that of previous empirical 3D extinction maps, enabling the structure of the Galactic Plane to be studied in increased detail. {\scshape mead} accounts for the effect of the survey magnitude limits, photometric errors, unresolved ISM substructure, and binarity. The impact of metallicity variations, within the range typical of the Galactic disc is small. The accuracy and reliability of {\scshape mead} are tested through the use of simulated photometry created with Monte-Carlo sampling techniques. The success of this algorithm is demonstrated on a selection of fields and the results are compared to the literature.
