摘要:

在这项工作中,我们提出了一个星系的合成光谱的基础上的数据斯隆数字巡天数据发布7(SDSS DR 7)的图集。Galerkin通过颜色、核活动和恒星形成活动进行分类,以使用对异常值具有鲁棒性的算法来计算高信噪比和分辨率(S/N = 132 - 4760,D λ = 1 A)的平均光谱。除了复合光谱,我们还计算了每个星系类中分布的前五个主成分,以表征平均值周围单个光谱变化的性质。用BC 0 3恒星星族合成模型对合成光谱的连续谱进行拟合,使波长覆盖范围超出SDSS摄谱仪的覆盖范围。还计算了复合材料的常见衍生参数:最流行的过滤系统中的集成颜色,线强度测量和连续吸收指数(包括舔指数)。这些导出的参数与个别星系的参数分布进行了比较,并在许多例子中表明,该图集的复合材料覆盖了SDSS星系跨越的参数空间。通过将数千个光谱相加,可以达到几个月的总积分时间,从而产生极低的噪声合成。红移的变化不仅允许将光谱覆盖范围向蓝扩展到SDSS光谱仪的原始波长极限,而且还可以实现更高的光谱分辨率。复合光谱图谱可在http://www.vo.elte.hu/compositeatlas上在线获得。

英文摘要:

In this work we present an atlas of composite spectra of galaxies based on the data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7). Galaxies are classified by colour, nuclear activity and star-formation activity to calculate average spectra of high signal-to-noise ratio and resolution (S/N = 132 - 4760 at {Dlambda = 1 A), using an algorithm that is robust against outliers. Besides composite spectra, we also compute the first five principal components of the distributions in each galaxy class to characterize the nature of variations of individual spectra around the averages. The continua of the composite spectra are fitted with BC03 stellar population synthesis models to extend the wavelength coverage beyond the coverage of the SDSS spectrographs. Common derived parameters of the composites are also calculated: integrated colours in the most popular filter systems, line strength measurements, and continuum absorption indices (including Lick indices). These derived parameters are compared with the distributions of parameters of individual galaxies and it is shown on many examples that the composites of the atlas cover much of the parameter space spanned by SDSS galaxies. By co-adding thousands of spectra, a total integration time of several months can be reached, which results in extremely low noise composites. The variations in redshift not only allow for extending the spectral coverage bluewards to the original wavelength limit of the SDSS spectrographs, but also make higher spectral resolution achievable. The composite spectrum atlas is available online at http://www.vo.elte.hu/compositeatlas.
