摘要:

精确的定量光谱分析-包括大气参数和化学元素丰度测定-由于其迭代性质和需要探索的多参数空间,特别是“肉眼”进行时,非常耗时。一个强大的自动拟合技术,是值得信赖的传统方法将允许大样本的恒星进行分析,在合理的时间内以一致的方式。基于$χ^2$最小化的概念,提出了一种半自动的早型星定量光谱分析技术。该方法的主要特点是:远低于主观的典型的“通过眼睛”的方法,校正不准确的连续归一化,考虑整个有用的光谱范围,同时采样的整个多参数空间(有效温度,表面重力,微观湍流,宏观湍流,预计旋转速度,径向速度,元素丰度),以找到全球最佳的解决方案,也适用于复合光谱。该方法是快速,稳健和可靠的,从正式的测试,并从与以前的分析比较。对早期类型恒星的大样本进行一致的定量光谱分析可以快速、高精度地进行。

英文摘要:

A precise quantitative spectral analysis - encompassing atmospheric parameter and chemical elemental abundance determination - is time consuming due to its iterative nature and the multi-parameter space to be explored, especially when done "by eye". A robust automated fitting technique that is as trustworthy as traditional methods would allow for large samples of stars to be analyzed in a consistent manner in reasonable time. We present a semi-automated quantitative spectral analysis technique for early-type stars based on the concept of $χ^2$ minimization. The method's main features are: far less subjective than typical "by eye" methods, correction for inaccurate continuum normalization, consideration of the whole useful spectral range, simultaneous sampling of the entire multi-parameter space (effective temperature, surface gravity, microturbulence, macroturbulence, projected rotational velocity, radial velocity, elemental abundances) to find the global best solution, applicable also to composite spectra. The method is fast, robust and reliable as seen from formal tests and from a comparison with previous analyses. Consistent quantitative spectral analyses of large samples of early-type stars can be performed quickly with very high accuracy.
