摘要:

建立了一套单色光照明系统,对斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)中镶嵌CCD成像仪的响应函数进行了现场测量。该系统的概述和测量的结果,主要是在第一个6年的SDSS,进行了说明。我们提出的参考响应函数的五个颜色通带来自这些测量,并讨论列列的变化和变化的时间,以及它们对测光的影响。我们还讨论了所产生的影响,从各种,略有不同的相关检测器系统,用于给SDSS光度的响应函数。我们表明,SDSS的校准程序删除这些变化相当不错,最终的误差从变量响应函数不太可能是大于0.01马格的g,r,i,z波段在整个调查期间。在u波段中发现了相当大的老化效应,响应函数显示在调查年份期间短波长侧的吞吐量减少30%,这可能导致测光中的系统误差。老化效应与U波段仪器灵敏度的变化一致,并已校准。预期的颜色变化与重复光度测定目录中测得的颜色变化一致。大多数恒星的颜色变化为delta(u-g)~ 0.01等,极端颜色的恒星最多为delta(u-g)~ 0.02等。我们验证了在最终的目录中,没有系统的变化超过0.01等检测测光,这可以归因于老化和/或季节性的影响,除了长期的U-G颜色变化的极端颜色的恒星。

英文摘要:

The monochromatic illumination system is constructed to carry out in situ measurements of the response function of the mosaicked CCD imager used in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The system is outlined and the results of the measurements, mostly during the first 6 years of the SDSS, are described. We present the reference response functions for the five colour passbands derived from these measurements, and discuss column to column variations and variations in time, and also their effects on photometry. We also discuss the effect arising from various, slightly different response functions of the associated detector systems that were used to give SDSS photometry. We show that the calibration procedures of SDSS remove these variations reasonably well with the resulting final errors from variant response functions being unlikely to be larger than 0.01 mag for g, r, i, and z bands over the entire duration of the survey. The considerable aging effect is uncovered in the u band, the response function showing a 30% decrease in the throughput in the short wavelength side during the survey years, which potentially causes a systematic error in photometry. The aging effect is consistent with variation of the instrumental sensitivity in u-band, which is calibrated out. The expected colour variation is consistent with measured colour variation in the catalog of repeated photometry. The colour variation is delta (u-g) ~ 0.01 for most stars, and at most delta (u-g) ~ 0.02 mag for those with extreme colours. We verified in the final catalogue that no systematic variations in excess of 0.01 mag are detected in the photometry which can be ascribed to aging and/or seasonal effects except for the secular u-g colour variation for stars with extreme colours.
