Gaia DR3测光与BP/RP光谱的空间均匀性检验

A Spatial Uniformity Check of Gaia DR3 Photometry and BP/RP Spectra

Bowen Huang, Haibo Yuan, Kai Xiao

AI总结:

本研究通过比对合成测光与实测测光检验Gaia DR3测光及BP/RP光谱的空间均匀性,发现毫星等水平的高均匀性同时存在与扫描定律相关的空间模式,且该模式主要源于BP/RP光谱,为后续数据改进提供依据。

摘要:

Gaia DR3测光数据与BP/RP光谱已被广泛用作测光校准的参考。在本研究中,我们通过将BP、RP和G波段测光结果与由BP/RP光谱合成的对应波段测光结果进行比对,检验了Gaia DR3测光与BP/RP光谱的空间均匀性。比对偏差的离散度较小,BP、RP和G波段分别为1.07、0.55和1.02毫星等(mmag)。但偏差呈现出明显的空间模式,且与Gaia的扫描定律明确相关。BP和G波段观测到的模式相似,与RP波段相比,这两个波段的测光与光谱偏差更为显著。利用暗能量巡天(Dark Energy Survey)DR2测光数据开展的进一步独立测试显示,这些空间模式更可能归因于Gaia DR3的BP/RP光谱,尤其是BP波段。一方面,我们的结果证实了Gaia数据在毫星等水平上具有高空间均匀性;另一方面,结果表明Gaia DR3 BP/RP光谱的空间均匀性不及Gaia DR3测光数据,未来可进一步改进。

英文摘要:

Gaia DR3 photometry and BP/RP spectra have been widely used as reference in photometric calibrations. In this work, we check the spatial uniformity of Gaia DR3 photometry and BP/RP spectra by comparing the BP, RP and G bands photometry with the synthetic ones from the BP/RP spectra. The discrepancies have a small dispersion of 1.07, 0.55 and 1.02 mmag for the BP, RP, and G bands, respectively. However, the discrepancies exhibit obvious spatial patterns, which are clearly associated with the Gaia's scanning law. The patterns observed in the BP and G bands are similar, with discrepancies between photometry and spectra being more pronounced in these bands compared to the RP band. A further independent test with the Dark Energy Survey DR2 photometry reveals that the spatial patterns are more likely attributed to the Gaia DR3 BP/RP spectra, particularly in the BP band. On one hand, our results confirm the high spatial uniformity of Gaia data at the mmag level. On the other hand, our results suggest that the spatial uniformity of Gaia DR3 BP/RP spectra is not as good as that of Gaia DR3 photometry, and could be further improved in the future.
