欧几里得准备。XXV。欧几里德形态学挑战--对数十亿星系的模型拟合测光
Euclid preparation. XXV. The Euclid Morphology Challenge -- Towards model-fitting photometry for billions of galaxies
摘要:
欧空局的Euclid任务将为大约15亿个星系提供高质量的成像。欧几里德联合会科学地面部分正在开发一个软件管道,用于实时自动处理和分析如此大量的数据;该管道将包括一个模型拟合算法,该算法将提供对飞行任务的核心科学目标和遗留科学至关重要的光度和形态估计。欧几里德形态学挑战赛是对模拟欧几里德数据的五个模型拟合软件包的性能进行的比较研究,旨在提供基线,以确定最适合在管道中实施的算法。在本文中,我们描述了模拟的数据集,我们讨论的测光结果。一篇配套论文(Euclid Collaboration:Bretonnière et al. 2022)专注于结构和形态估计。我们在VIS仪器的$I_E$波段创建了模拟欧几里得图像,模拟了5个视场,每个视场为0.48度2,每个视场有3个星系轮廓的实现(单和双Sérsic,以及用神经网络获得的“真实”轮廓);对于双Sérsic实现中的一个场,我们还模拟了三个近红外$Y_E$的图像,NISP-P仪器的$J_E$和$H_E$带,以及5个Rubin/LSST光学互补带($u$、$g$、$r$、$i$和$z$)。为了分析结果,我们创建了诊断图并定义了ad-hoc指标。五个模型拟合软件包(DeepLeGATo,Galapagos-2,Morfometryka,ProFit和SourceXtractor++)进行了比较,通常都提供了良好的结果。(切)
英文摘要:
The ESA Euclid mission will provide high-quality imaging for about 1.5 billion galaxies. A software pipeline to automatically process and analyse such a huge amount of data in real time is being developed by the Science Ground Segment of the Euclid Consortium; this pipeline will include a model-fitting algorithm, which will provide photometric and morphological estimates of paramount importance for the core science goals of the mission and for legacy science. The Euclid Morphology Challenge is a comparative investigation of the performance of five model-fitting software packages on simulated Euclid data, aimed at providing the baseline to identify the best suited algorithm to be implemented in the pipeline. In this paper we describe the simulated data set, and we discuss the photometry results. A companion paper (Euclid Collaboration: Bretonnière et al. 2022) is focused on the structural and morphological estimates. We created mock Euclid images simulating five fields of view of 0.48 deg2 each in the $I_E$ band of the VIS instrument, each with three realisations of galaxy profiles (single and double Sérsic, and 'realistic' profiles obtained with a neural network); for one of the fields in the double Sérsic realisation, we also simulated images for the three near-infrared $Y_E$, $J_E$ and $H_E$ bands of the NISP-P instrument, and five Rubin/LSST optical complementary bands ($u$, $g$, $r$, $i$, and $z$). To analyse the results we created diagnostic plots and defined ad-hoc metrics. Five model-fitting software packages (DeepLeGATo, Galapagos-2, Morfometryka, ProFit, and SourceXtractor++) were compared, all typically providing good results. (cut)
