一种新的低表面亮度数据天空相减技术

A new sky subtraction technique for low surface brightness data

Ivan Yu. Katkov, Igor V. Chilingarian

摘要:

我们提出了一种新的方法,适用于低表面亮度物体的长缝光谱的天空减法的基础上控制重建的夜空光谱在傅立叶空间使用暮光或弧线框架作为参考。它可以很容易地采用FLAMINGOS型多缝数据。与现有的天空相减算法相比,我们的技术是考虑到变化的谱线沿狭缝扩展,从而定性地提高天空相减质量的扩展目标。作为一个例子,我们展示了螺旋星系NGC 5440外盘中恒星金属丰度和恒星速度色散分布是如何受到天空相减质量的影响的。我们的技术被用于俄罗斯6米望远镜对早期星系进行的调查,它大大增加了主要数据档案中有关附近星系的大量长缝数据的科学潜力。

英文摘要:

We present a new approach to the sky subtraction for long-slit spectra suitable for low-surface brightness objects based on the controlled reconstruction of the night sky spectrum in the Fourier space using twilight or arc-line frames as references. It can be easily adopted for FLAMINGOS-type multi-slit data. Compared to existing sky subtraction algorithms, our technique is taking into account variations of the spectral line spread along the slit thus qualitatively improving the sky subtraction quality for extended targets. As an example, we show how the stellar metallicity and stellar velocity dispersion profiles in the outer disc of the spiral galaxy NGC 5440 are affected by the sky subtraction quality. Our technique is used in the survey of early-type galaxies carried out at the Russian 6-m telescope, and it strongly increases the scientific potential of large amounts of long-slit data for nearby galaxies available in major data archives.
