尘埃消光效应对近红外观测到的Galerkin性质的影响

The Effect of Dust Extinction on the Observed Properties of Galaxies in the Near-Infrared

摘要:

银河系后面的星系团由于被我们银河系盘面上的尘埃所遮蔽而缩小和变暗。遮蔽的程度取决于波长。它向更长的波长递减。与光学相比,近红外(NIR)$K_s$带消光仅为$B$带的$\approx10%$。这使得近红外测量非常适合于靠近银河平面的星系测量,那里的灭绝是严重的。虽然银河系的遮蔽在近红外中不那么突出,但它也是不可忽略的。在本文中,我们推导出经验关系,以纠正等照度半径和星等观察到的星系在近红外前景吸收。我们模拟了2 MASS大星系图集\citep{jarrett}中64个(未遮蔽)星系的$J$、$H$和$K_s$波段的消光。我们提出了两种方法的消光校正,第一个是优化,以提供最准确的校正,第二个提供了一个方便的统计校正,充分工作在较低的消光区。优化的校正利用星系表面亮度,无论是磁盘中心表面亮度,$μ_0$,或组合磁盘加上凸起中心表面亮度,椭圆和磁盘/螺旋哈勃类型。不同的方法和它们的准确性之间的详细比较。

英文摘要:

Galaxies behind the Milky Way suffer size reduction and dimming due to their obscuration by dust in the disk of our Galaxy. The degree of obscuration is wavelength dependent. It decreases towards longer wavelengths. Compared to the optical, the Near InfraRed (NIR) $K_s$ band extinction is only $\approx10%$ that of the $B$ band. This makes NIR surveys well suited for galaxy surveys close to the Galactic Plane where extinction is severe. While Galactic obscuration is less prominent in the NIR it is not negligible. In this paper we derive empirical relations to correct isophotal radii and magnitudes of galaxies observed in the NIR for foreground absorption. We simulate extinction in the $J$, $H$ and $K_s$ bands on 64 (unobscured) galaxies from the 2MASS Large Galaxy Atlas \citep{jarrett}. We propose two methods for the extinction correction, the first is optimized to provide the most accurate correction and the second provides a convenient statistical correction that works adequately in lower extinction regions. The optimized correction utilizes the galaxy surface brightness, either the disk central surface brightness, $μ_0$, or the combined disk plus bulge central surface brightness, elliptical and disk/spiral Hubble types. A detailed comparison between the different methods and their accuracy is provided.
