摘要:

在明亮恒星的巡天中,有效地将矮星和巨星分开是很重要的,特别是对于通过光度视差关系估计距离的研究。我们使用第二次RAVE数据发布(DR 2)的可用光谱log g估计值,根据混合模型拟合不同色箱中的log g分布,为每颗恒星分配一个成为矮星或亚巨星/巨星的概率。我们进一步尝试使用这些恒星作为一个标记的训练集,以分类的恒星缺乏日志g估计到矮星和巨星的SVM算法。我们评估这种分类对不同的输入特征向量的选择的性能。特别是,我们使用不同的组合约化自行,2 MASS JHK,DENIS IJK和USNO-B B2 R2视星等。我们的研究表明,对于我们的颜色范围来说,红外波段本身并不能提供区分矮星和巨星的相关信息。即使加上光带和约化自行,被归类为矮星的真正巨星的比例(污染)仍然超过20%。仅使用具有可用光谱log g和距离估计的矮星(后者来自Breddels et al. 2010),然后重复Klement,Fuchs & Rix(2008,KFR 08)的流搜索,该搜索假设所有恒星都是矮星,并声称在RAVE DR 1的7015颗恒星样本中发现了V = -160 km/s的新恒星流。我们对纯DR 2矮星样本的重新分析显示,在KFR 08流的相空间位置处有5颗恒星的过密度,金属丰度分布似乎与相对较低旋转速度下的恒星不一致。与几个平滑的银河系模型相比,KFR 08流的平均标准化偏差仅为1.6 $\pm$ 0.4.(略)

英文摘要:

An efficient separation between dwarfs and giants in surveys of bright stars is important, especially for studies in which distances are estimated through photometric parallax relations. We use the available spectroscopic log g estimates from the second RAVE data release (DR2) to assign each star a probability for being a dwarf or subgiant/giant based on mixture model fits to the log g distribution in different color bins. We further attempt to use these stars as a labeled training set in order to classify stars which lack log g estimates into dwarfs and giants with a SVM algorithm. We assess the performance of this classification against different choices of the input feature vector. In particular, we use different combinations of reduced proper motions, 2MASS JHK, DENIS IJK and USNO-B B2R2 apparent magnitudes. Our study shows that -- for our color ranges -- the infrared bands alone provide no relevant information to separate dwarfs and giants. Even when optical bands and reduced proper motions are added, the fraction of true giants classified as dwarfs (the contamination) remains above 20%. Using only the dwarfs with available spectroscopic log g and distance estimates (the latter from Breddels et al. 2010), we then repeat the stream search by Klement, Fuchs & Rix (2008, KFR08), which assumed all stars were dwarfs and claimed the discovery of a new stellar stream at V = -160 km/s in a sample of 7015 stars from RAVE DR1. Our re-analysis of the pure DR2 dwarf sample exhibits an overdensity of 5 stars at the phase-space position of the KFR08 stream, with a metallicity distribution that appears inconsistent with that of stars at comparably low rotational velocities. Compared to several smooth Milky Way models, the mean standardized deviation of the KFR08 stream is only marginal at 1.6$\pm$0.4... (abbreviated)
