摘要:

我们提出了一种新的方法,类星体目标选择光度通量和贝叶斯概率方法。为了我们的目的,我们使用斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)测光的目标类星体的星等限制为g=22。这项技术的效率和完整性是使用2010年的重子振荡光谱巡天(BOSS)数据测量的。该技术已用于第9次SDSS数据发布中实现的BOSS一年光谱学目标的均匀选择(CORE)样本。当目标密度为每平方度40个物体(BOSS类星体目标密度)时,这种技术在恢复z>2.2类星体方面的效率为40%。与BOSS数据中识别的所有类星体相比,完整性为65%。本文还介绍了可能的扩展和改进,这种技术

英文摘要:

We present a new method for quasar target selection using photometric fluxes and a Bayesian probabilistic approach. For our purposes we target quasars using Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometry to a magnitude limit of g=22. The efficiency and completeness of this technique is measured using the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) data, taken in 2010. This technique was used for the uniformly selected (CORE) sample of targets in BOSS year one spectroscopy to be realized in the 9th SDSS data release. When targeting at a density of 40 objects per sq-deg (the BOSS quasar targeting density) the efficiency of this technique in recovering z>2.2 quasars is 40%. The completeness compared to all quasars identified in BOSS data is 65%. This paper also describes possible extensions and improvements for this technique
