摘要:

我们提出了一套低分辨率的经验SED模板的AGN和星系的波长范围从0.03到30微米的基础上的多波长光度观测的NOAO深宽场巡天Bootes场和光谱观测的AGN和星系演化巡天。我们的训练样本由14448个红移范围为0 <~ z<~1的星系和5347个可能的活动星系核组成。我们使用我们的模板来确定星系和活动星系核的光度红移。虽然它们对星系的测量相对准确,但它们对活动星系核的测量精度是活动星系核和星系组成部分之间光度比的一个强函数。有些令人惊讶的是,即使光度红移有很大的误差,活动星系核和它的宿主的相对光度也被很好地确定了。我们还使用我们的模板来研究斯特恩等人开发的中红外活动星系核的选择标准。(2005)和Lacy et al.(2004年)。我们发现,斯特恩等人。(2005)标准在有强宿主星系成分和z =~ 4.5时存在明显的不完整性,当宽的H α发射线红移到[3.6]带时,但它几乎没有受到低和中等红移星系的污染。The Lacy et al.(2004)判据在z =~ 4.5处不受不完整性的影响,并且受强星系宿主成分的影响较小,但受到低红移恒星形成星系的严重污染。最后,我们使用我们的模板来预测在即将到来的WISE任务的源的颜色颜色分布,并定义一个颜色标准来选择AGN类似于那些开发的IRAC测光。我们估计,在640,000和1,700,000之间的活动星系核将被识别的这些标准,但将有严重的完整性问题,z >~ 3.4。

英文摘要:

We present a set of low resolution empirical SED templates for AGNs and galaxies in the wavelength range from 0.03 to 30 microns based on the multi-wavelength photometric observations of the NOAO Deep-Wide Field Survey Bootes field and the spectroscopic observations of the AGN and Galaxy Evolution Survey. Our training sample is comprised of 14448 galaxies in the redshift range 0<~z<~1 and 5347 likely AGNs in the range 0<~z<~5.58. We use our templates to determine photometric redshifts for galaxies and AGNs. While they are relatively accurate for galaxies, their accuracies for AGNs are a strong function of the luminosity ratio between the AGN and galaxy components. Somewhat surprisingly, the relative luminosities of the AGN and its host are well determined even when the photometric redshift is significantly in error. We also use our templates to study the mid-IR AGN selection criteria developed by Stern et al.(2005) and Lacy et al.(2004). We find that the Stern et al.(2005) criteria suffers from significant incompleteness when there is a strong host galaxy component and at z =~ 4.5, when the broad Halpha emission line is redshifted into the [3.6] band, but that it is little contaminated by low and intermediate redshift galaxies. The Lacy et al.(2004) criterion is not affected by incompleteness at z =~ 4.5 and is somewhat less affected by strong galaxy host components, but is heavily contaminated by low redshift star forming galaxies. Finally, we use our templates to predict the color-color distribution of sources in the upcoming WISE mission and define a color criterion to select AGNs analogous to those developed for IRAC photometry. We estimate that in between 640,000 and 1,700,000 AGNs will be identified by these criteria, but will have serious completeness problems for z >~ 3.4.
