Star Counts and The Galactic Structure

1. Star Counts and The Galactic Structure Xu Yan Supervisor: Deng Li Cai

2. Introduction • Sloan digital sky survey • Synthetic star counts model • Future plan

3. Sloan Digital Sky Survey • Five broad band filters,u’,g’,r’,i’,z’ effective wavelengths, 3450Å, 4760Å, 6280Å, 7690Å,9250Å point-source magnitude limit, 22.3, 23.3, 23.1, 22.3, 20.8 (s/n=5) • Pixels subtend 0”.4, PSF width1.4" median in r • Exposure time in each band is 54.1s • ‘run’, six 13’.5 wide strips, ‘rerun’, 12’.5 2o.5 wide stripe (Chen et. al. 2001)

4. 45 survey stripes

7. DR2 Sky Coverage 3324 sq deg Equatorial http://www.sdss.org/dr2/coverage/index.html

8. DR2 Sky Coverage Galactic http://www.sdss.org/dr2/coverage/index.html

9. Synthetic model • ρ(R,Z), Φ(Mass) → surface number density of some direction of some population • each population → [Fe/H], Mass, Age • From Isochrone → [Fe/H], Teff, g • Color of each star

13. PMF ~ IMF • Mass density convert to number density is normalized IMF • Logz=1.03[Fe/H]-1.689 (Carraro et. al. 1994) • z, Age, Mass

14. Pseudo-random in age and metalicity Group1,Mass: 0.1505000D+00 0.1515000D+00 (M☉)

15. Interpolate in SDSS Isochrone of Giradi(2004) and Ma(2001) • The tables of bolometric corrections have been applied to Padova database of stellar evolutionary tracks and isochrones. http://pleiadi.pd.astro.it. Stellar spectra Fλ, spectral library
