Two spectral datasets(set A and B) from near-ultraviolet(NUV) to the optical band were constructed with 44 International Ultraviolet Explorer(IUE) standards, because of the LUT's relatively wide wavelength coverage. Set A was obtained by extrapolating the IUE NUV spectra(λ 〈 3200 ) to the optical band based upon the theoretical spectra of stellar atmosphere models. Set B was composed of theoretical spectra from 2000 to 8000 extracted from the same model grid. In total, seven standards have been observed in15 observational runs until May 2014. The calibration results show that the photometric performance of LUT is highly stable in its first six months of operation. The magnitude zero points obtained from the two spectral datasets are also consistent with each other, i.e., zp = 17.54 ± 0.09 mag(set A) and zp = 17.52 ± 0.07 mag(set B).展开更多

In high contrast lighting condition environment, images captured by auto exposure camera shows frequently change with its exposure time. As a result, the gray value of the same feature in the image show vary from frame to frame, which poses large challenge to the feature detection and tracking procedure. Moreover, this problem further been aggravated by the nonlinear camera response function and lens attenuation. However, very few VIO methods take full advantage of photometric camera calibration and discuss the influence of photometric calibration to the VIO. In this paper, we proposed a robust monocular visual-inertial odometry, PC-VINS-Mono, which can be understood as an extension of the opens-source VIO pipeline, VINS-Mono, with the capability of photometric calibration. We evaluate the proposed algorithm with the public dataset. Experimental results show that, with photometric calibration, our algorithm achieves better performance comparing to the VINS-Mono.展开更多

The recently found nitrogen-rich(N-rich) metal-poor field stars are promising candidates of these GC escapees, since N enhancement is the fingerprint of chemically enhanced populations in GCs. In this work, we discuss the possibility of identifying N-rich metal-poor field stars with the upcoming Chinese Space Station Telescope(CSST). We focus on the main survey camera with NUV, u, g, r, i, z, y filters and slitless spectrograph with a resolution about 200.The combination of UV sensitive equipment and prominent N-related molecular lines in the UV band bodes well for the identification: the color–color diagram of(u-g) versus(g-r) is capable of separating N-rich field stars from normal halo stars, if metallicity can be estimated without using the information on u-band photometry.Besides, the synthetic spectra show that a signal-to-noise ratio of 10 is sufficient to identify N-rich field stars. In the near future, a large sample of N-rich field stars found by CSST, combined with state-of-the-art N-body simulations will be crucial to deciphering GC-Galaxy co-evolution.展开更多

The method is based on the idea of the instrumental sensors method (ISM), two well-calibrated sensors are added into the original array. By applying the principle of estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT), the direction-of-arrivals (DOAs) and uncertainties can be estimated simultaneously through eigen-decomposition. Compared with the conventional ones, this new method has less computational complexity while has higher estimation precision, what's more, it can overcome the problem of ambiguity.

They are also widely used in the visual wavelength region in many other photometric projects. Over the years we have observed on 58 good photometric nights, and the data obtained are used for flux calibration. Normally two or three OG standards are observed in every photometric night. The data are used for getting the atmospheric extinction coefficients and instrumental magnitude zero point. We also use these data to make inter-comparisons among the magnitudes of these standard stars. As a result, we found the magnitudes of HD 19445, HD 84937 and BD+17 4708 to agree well with those estimated in previous work to within 0.03 magnitude. However, BD+26 2606 shows a larger deviation especially at short wavebands. Possible reasons are analyzed and the revised magnitudes are obtained for these standards. It is shown that the quality of flux calibration of the BATC fields is significantly approved by applying the new magnitudes.展开更多
