Photometric calibration methods for wide-field photometric surveys
نویسندگان
چکیده
Uniform and accurate photometric calibration plays an important role in the current next-generation wide-field imaging surveys. Herein, we review modern methods, including classic standard star method, “hardware/observation-driven" methods (such as Ubercalibration, Hypercalibration, Forward Global Calibration Methods), “software/physics-driven" (e.g., Stellar Locus Regression, Locus, Color Regression Methods). Further, discuss their advantages, limitations, future developments toward millimagnitude precision calibration.

WFPC2 Photometric Calibration
The updated absolute photometric calibration for WFPC2 yields typical uncertainties for bright sources below 2% for the photometric filter set and of about 3% for other filters between 400 and 800 nm. We present a quantitative characterization of some well-known WFPC2 non-linearities, the CTE error and the long vs. short anomaly, which allows a better estimate of their possible impact under a v...
متن کاملCosmology with photometric redshift surveys
We explore the utility of future photometric redshift imaging surveys for delineating the large-scale structure of the Universe, and assess the resulting constraints on the cosmological model. We perform two complementary types of analysis: (1) We quantify the statistical confidence and the accuracy with which such surveys will be able to detect and measure characteristic features in the cluste...
متن کاملGalactic structure from photometric surveys
Seventeen of twenty known or suspected dwarf galaxy satellites of the Milky Way were discovered through photometric images. Six significant tidal streams are known in the Galactic spheroid, all of which were discovered through photometric surveys. At present, only photometric surveys provide enough sky coverage and depth to probe the shape of the Milky Way. We argue that the Virgo Stellar Strea...
متن کاملPhotometric calibration of Megacam data
Traditionally, the elixir pipeline (Magnier and Cuillandre 2004) has been using the standard stars observed by Smith et al. (2002)to establish an absolute photometric calibration scale for Megacam data. This set of standard stars is the basis of the absolute calibration of the SDSS photometric survey, and is used by Smith et al. (2002) to establish the correspondance between the (now standard) ...
متن کاملThe UKIRT Wide Field Camera ZY JHK Photometric System: Calibration from 2MASS
In this paper we describe the photometric calibration of data taken with the nearinfrared Wide Field Camera (WFCAM) on the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT). The broadband ZY JHK data are directly calibrated from 2MASS point sources which are abundant in every WFCAM pointing. We perform an analysis of spatial systematics in the photometric calibration, both interand intra-detector and s...
