Milky Way的彩色全天空全景图像

A Color All-Sky Panorama Image of the Milky Way

Axel Mellinger

摘要:

本文介绍了一个光学(RGB)的全天空镶嵌图像的图像比例尺为36角秒/像素,一个极限星等约为。14 MAG和18位动态范围。使用便携式低成本系统,70个领域(每个覆盖40度x27度)在21个月的时间跨度从黑暗的天空在南非,得克萨斯州和密歇根州的位置成像。这些区域是根据标准星表恒星进行光度校准的。利用先驱者10号和11号空间探测器提供的天空背景数据,消除了人为光污染、气辉和黄道光造成的梯度,而保留了未分辨来源造成的大规模银河和河外背景。648百万像素的图像是一个有价值的教育工具,能够充分利用现代全圆顶天象仪投影系统的分辨率和动态范围。

英文摘要:

This article describes the assembly of an optical (RGB) all-sky mosaic image with an image scale of 36 arcsec/pixel, a limiting magnitude of approx. 14 mag and an 18 bit dynamic range. Using a portable low-cost system, 70 fields (each covering 40 deg x 27 deg) were imaged over a time span of 21 months from dark-sky locations in South Africa, Texas and Michigan. The fields were photometrically calibrated against standard catalog stars. Using sky background data from the Pioneer 10 and 11 space probes, gradients resulting from artificial light pollution, airglow and zodiacal light were eliminated, while the large-scale galactic and extragalactic background resulting from unresolved sources was preserved. The 648 Megapixel image is a valuable educational tool, being able to fully utilize the resolution and dynamic range of modern full-dome planetarium projection systems.
