SDSS恒星光谱的主成分分析

Principal Component Analysis of SDSS Stellar Spectra

Rosalie C. McGurk, Amy E. Kimball, Zeljko Ivezic

摘要:

我们将主成分分析(PCA)应用于斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)获得的~ 100,000个恒星光谱。为了避免光谱随有效温度的强非线性变化,将样品分箱到g-r颜色的0.02 mag宽的间隔(-0.20<g-r<0.90,大致对应于MK光谱类型A3至K3)中,并且对每个箱独立地应用PCA。在每个色箱中,前四个本征光谱足以描述测量噪声内的观测光谱。我们讨论了本征系数与金属丰度和重力的相关性估计的斯隆扩展银河系理解和探索(SEGUE)恒星参数管道。由此产生的高信噪比平均光谱和其他三个特征光谱是公开的。这些数据可以用来生成高质量的光谱的有效温度,金属丰度和重力的任意组合内的参数空间探测的SDSS。SDSS恒星光谱数据库和主成分分析结果提供了一种方便的方法来分类新的光谱,寻找不寻常的光谱,训练各种光谱分类方法,并在任意光学带通合成准确的颜色。

英文摘要:

We apply Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to ~100,000 stellar spectra obtained by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). In order to avoid strong non-linear variation of spectra with effective temperature, the sample is binned into 0.02 mag wide intervals of the g-r color (-0.20<g-r<0.90, roughly corresponding to MK spectral types A3 to K3), and PCA is applied independently for each bin. In each color bin, the first four eigenspectra are sufficient to describe the observed spectra within the measurement noise. We discuss correlations of eigencoefficients with metallicity and gravity estimated by the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (SEGUE) Stellar Parameters Pipeline. The resulting high signal-to-noise mean spectra and the other three eigenspectra are made publicly available. These data can be used to generate high quality spectra for an arbitrary combination of effective temperature, metallicity, and gravity within the parameter space probed by the SDSS. The SDSS stellar spectroscopic database and the PCA results presented here offer a convenient method to classify new spectra, to search for unusual spectra, to train various spectral classification methods, and to synthesize accurate colors in arbitrary optical bandpasses.
