Grids of synthetic spectra for the GAIA mission
نویسنده
چکیده
Two sets of grids of Kurucz ATLAS 9 model spectra are presented. The first one covers the GAIA spectral interval, while the second one which is still being computed covers the whole range from 2500 – 10500 Å. Both grids include parameters needed for realistic spectral simulation, e.g. stellar rotation and are computed at R = 20000 and lower spectral resolutions. They can be useful for preparation of the GAIA and RAVE missions and also for a general radial velocity correlation work.

ANNs and Wavelets: A Strategy for Gaia RVS Low S/N Stellar Spectra Parameterization
Gaia is the next astrometric ESA mission, conceived to extend the Hipparcos legacy by producing what has been called the first stereoscopic census of the Galaxy. The spacecraft will be launched by spring of 2012 and will measure astrometry with unprecedented accuracy for a significant 1% of the objects in the Milky Way. Additionally, two spectrophotometers will determine the spectral energy dis...
متن کاملAn extensive library of synthetic spectra covering the far red, RAVE and GAIA wavelength ranges
A library of 183 588 synthetic spectra based on Kurucz’s ATLAS9 models is presented for the far red spectral interval (7653 – 8747 Å). It is characterized by 3 500 K ≤ Teff ≤ 47 500 K, 0.0 ≤ log g ≤ 5.0, −3.0 ≤ [M/H] ≤ +0.5, 0 ≤ Vrot ≤ 500 km s−1, ξ = 2 km s−1. The whole grid of spectra is calculated for resolving powers 8 500, 11 500 and 20 000. A section of the grid is also computed for [α/Fe...
متن کاملNew high resolution synthetic stellar libraries for the Gaia Mission
High resolution synthetic stellar libraries are of fundamental importance for the preparation of the Gaia Mission. We present new sets of spectral stellar libraries covering two spectral ranges: 300 –1100 nm at 0.1 nm resolution, and 840 – 890 nm at 0.001 nm resolution. These libraries span a large range in atmospheric parameters, from super-metalrich to very metal-poor (-5.0 <[Fe/H]<+1.0), fro...
متن کاملDistributed Genetic Algorithm for feature selection in Gaia RVS spectra. Application to ANN parameterization
This work presents an algorithm that was developed to select the most relevant areas of a stellar spectrum to extract its basic atmospheric parameters. We consider synthetic spectra obtained from stellar atmospheres models in the spectral region of the RVS instrument (Radial Velocity Spectrograph) of the European Space Agency’s Gaia spatial mission. The algorithm that demarcates the areas of th...
متن کاملStellar Rotation from GAIA Spectra
Abstract. Stellar rotation influences our understanding of stellar structure and evolution, binary systems, clusters etc. and therefore the benefits of a large and highly accurate database on stellar rotation, obtained by GAIA, will be manifold. To study the prospects of GAIA measurement of projected rotational velocities vrot sin i, we use synthetic stellar spectra to simulate the determinatio...
