摘要:

我们提出了一个改进的光谱和光度分析的氢线DA白矮星从斯隆数字巡天数据发布4的基础上模型大气,包括改进的斯塔克加宽轮廓与非理想气体的影响。我们还进行了仔细的目视检查,所有光谱符合高信噪比(S/N > 12),并提出了改进的大气参数(Teff和log g)为每个白矮星。通过光谱温度和光度温度的比较,我们发现了35颗DA+DB/DC双简并候选星和2颗富氦DA星。我们还确定,在S/N = 15的截止优化计算DA白矮星的平均质量的样本的大小和质量,我们报告的值为0.613 Msun。在接下来的步骤中,我们将我们的结果与以前的SDSS DR 4分析进行比较,如果我们考虑到改进的斯塔克曲线产生的位移,我们会发现很好的一致性。最后,SDSS中DA白矮星的性质与Gianninas等人的Villanova白矮星样本的性质进行了权衡。我们发现系统的质量较低(平均约3%),这一差异可以追溯到SDSS的数据简化过程。我们的结论是,更好地了解这些差异将是重要的,以确定绝对温度和平均质量的DA白矮星。

英文摘要:

We present an improved spectroscopic and photometric analysis of hydrogen-line DA white dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4 based on model atmospheres that include improved Stark broadening profiles with non-ideal gas effects. We also perform a careful visual inspection of all spectroscopic fits with high signal-to-noise ratios (S/N > 12) and present improved atmospheric parameters (Teff and log g) for each white dwarf. Through a comparison of spectroscopic and photometric temperatures, we report the discovery of 35 DA+DB/DC double degenerate candidates and 2 helium-rich DA stars. We also determine that a cutoff at S/N = 15 optimizes the size and quality of the sample for computing the mean mass of DA white dwarfs, for which we report a value of 0.613 Msun. In the following step, we compare our results to previous analyses of the SDSS DR4 and find a good agreement if we account for the shift produced by the improved Stark profiles. Finally, the properties of DA white dwarfs in the SDSS are weighed against those of the Villanova White Dwarf Catalog sample of Gianninas et al. We find systematically lower masses (by about 3% on average), a difference that we trace back to the data reduction procedure of the SDSS. We conclude that a better understanding of these differences will be important to determine the absolute temperature scale and mean mass of DA white dwarfs.
