用MCMC拟合SED:方法学和对大星系巡天的应用

SED fitting with MCMC: methodology and application to large galaxy surveys

Viviana Acquaviva, Eric Gawiser, Lucia Guaita

摘要:

我们提出GalMC(Acquaviva et al 2011),我们公开可用的Markov Chain Monte Carlo算法用于SED拟合,展示了在z ~ 3处Lyman Alpha发射星系的堆叠样本获得的结果,并讨论了推断的SED参数对建模恒星星族的假设的依赖性。我们还介绍了SpeedyMC,GalMC的一个版本的基础上插值预先计算的模板库。虽然与GalMC相比,SED拟合参数的灵活性和数量减少了,但平均运行时间减少了20,000倍,使每个星系在2.2GHz MacBook Pro笔记本电脑上的SED拟合时间约为1秒,并使SpeedyMC成为分析大型光度星系调查数据的理想仪器。

英文摘要:

We present GalMC (Acquaviva et al 2011), our publicly available Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm for SED fitting, show the results obtained for a stacked sample of Lyman Alpha Emitting galaxies at z ~ 3, and discuss the dependence of the inferred SED parameters on the assumptions made in modeling the stellar populations. We also introduce SpeedyMC, a version of GalMC based on interpolation of pre-computed template libraries. While the flexibility and number of SED fitting parameters is reduced with respect to GalMC, the average running time decreases by a factor of 20,000, enabling SED fitting of each galaxy in about one second on a 2.2GHz MacBook Pro laptop, and making SpeedyMC the ideal instrument to analyze data from large photometric galaxy surveys.
