摘要:

中国空间站光学巡天(CSS-OS)是中国载人航天工程空间应用系统的重大科学工程。这次巡天计划进行光度成像和无缝光谱观测,并将侧重于不同的宇宙学和天文学目标。这些目标中的大多数都紧紧依赖于测光红移(photo-z)测量的准确性,特别是对于作为主要科学驱动力的弱引力透镜测量。在这项工作中,我们评估目前的过滤器定义是否可以提供准确的photo-z测量,以满足科学的要求。我们使用COSMOS星系表为CSS-OS创建了一个模拟星系表,比较了不同的photo-z程序和使用光谱能量分布(SED)模板拟合技术的拟合方法,选择使用一个改进的LePhare程序进行photo-z拟合。然后,我们研究了在一定范围内的滤波器参数,如频带位置,宽度和斜率的CSS-OS的photo-z精度。我们发现,当前的CSS-OS滤波器定义可以实现相当好的photo-z结果,sigma_z约为0.02,离群值分数约为3%。

英文摘要:

The Chinese Space Station Optical Survey (CSS-OS) is a major science project of the Space Application System of the China Manned Space Program. This survey is planned to perform both photometric imaging and slitless spectroscopic observations, and it will focus on different cosmological and astronomical goals. Most of these goals are tightly dependent on the accuracy of photometric redshift (photo-z) measurement, especially for the weak gravitational lensing survey as a main science driver. In this work, we assess if the current filter definition can provide accurate photo-z measurement to meet the science requirement. We use the COSMOS galaxy catalog to create a mock catalog for the CSS-OS. We compare different photo-z codes and fitting methods that using the spectral energy distribution (SED) template-fitting technique, and choose to use a modified LePhare code in photo-z fitting process. Then we investigate the CSS-OS photo-z accuracy in certain ranges of filter parameters, such as band position, width, and slope. We find that the current CSS-OS filter definition can achieve reasonably good photo-z results with sigma_z~0.02 and outlier fraction ~3%.
