一种适用于低频radio telescopes的宽带通量标度

A broadband flux scale for low frequency radio telescopes

Anna M. M. Scaife, George H. Heald

摘要:

我们提出了有效的参数化宽带频谱模型在30-300 MHz之间的频率为6个明亮的无线电源从3C调查,传播在赤经从0-24小时。对于每一个来源,从文献中的数据进行汇编,并绑定到一个共同的通量密度尺度。这些数据,然后使用参数化的解析多项式光谱校准模型。每种情况下的最佳多项式阶数都是使用候选模型的贝叶斯证据的比率来确定的。每个模型的极大似然参数值,与相关的错误,并在每个模型中的百分比误差作为频率的函数推导出来。这些光谱模型的目的是作为新一代低频望远镜科学的初步参考,特别是低频阵列(LOFAR)。

英文摘要:

We present parameterized broadband spectral models valid at frequencies between 30-300 MHz for six bright radio sources selected from the 3C survey, spread in Right Ascension from 0-24 hours. For each source, data from the literature are compiled and tied to a common flux density scale. These data are then used to parameterize an analytic polynomial spectral calibration model. The optimal polynomial order in each case is determined using the ratio of the Bayesian evidence for the candidate models. Maximum likelihood parameter values for each model are presented, with associated errors, and the percentage error in each model as a function of frequency is derived. These spectral models are intended as an initial reference for science from the new generation of low frequency telescopes now coming on line, with particular emphasis on the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR).
