使用Gaia DR2解决差分颜色折射和电荷转移效率问题

Using Gaia DR2 to solve differential color refraction and charge transfer efficiency issues

F. R. Lin, Q. Y. Peng, Z. J. Zheng

摘要:

2018年发布的盖亚DR 2目录提供了关于10亿多颗恒星的信息,包括它们不受大气影响的极其精确的位置,以及G、RP和BP通带中的星等。这些信息为地基天体测量的改进提供了巨大的潜力。基于Gaia DR 2,提出了一种简便的差色折射率(DCR)标定方法。这种方法只需要通过选定的滤波器对几十颗恒星进行观测。将该方法应用于云南天文台1米和2.4米望远镜不同滤波器的观测数据处理,结果表明,DCR改正后的观测位置与计算位置之间的残差(O-C)的平均值明显减小。对于我们通过N(零)滤波器进行的观测,暴露良好的恒星(约15 G等)的平均值(O-C)的中位数从19 mas降至3 mas,从而实现更好的精度,即平均值(O-C)。另一个相关的问题是当读出CCD帧时由差的电荷转移效率(CTE)引起的系统误差。这种系统误差对云南天文台1米望远镜的某些观测结果是很重要的。使用S形函数来拟合和校正平均值(O-C),可以消除高达30 mas的系统误差。

英文摘要:

The Gaia DR2 catalog released in 2018 gives information about more than one billion stars, including their extremely precise positions that are not affected by the atmosphere, as well as the magnitudes in the G, RP, and BP passbands. This information provides great potential for the improvement of the ground-based astrometry. Based on Gaia DR2, we present a convenient method to calibrate the differential color refraction (DCR). This method only requires observations with dozens of stars taken through a selected filter. Applying this method to the reduction of observations captured through different filters by the 1-m and 2.4-m telescopes at Yunnan Observatory, the results show that the mean of the residuals between observed and computed positions (O-C) after DCR correction is significantly reduced. For our observations taken through an N (null) filter, the median of the mean (O-C) for well-exposed stars (about 15 G-mag) decreases from 19 mas to 3 mas, thus achieving better accuracy, i.e. mean (O-C). Another issue correlated is a systematic error caused by the poor charge transfer efficiency (CTE) when a CCD frame is read out. This systematic error is significant for some of the observations captured by the 1-m telescope at Yunnan Observatory. Using a sigmoidal function to fit and correct the mean (O-C), a systematic error up to 30 mas can be eliminated.
