背景富含氢的 DA 型白矮星特别适合作为通量校准的主要标准恒星。最先进的 NLTE 模型考虑了高达反铁元素的物种不透明度,并提供可靠的合成恒星大气光谱与观测结果进行比较。目标我们将建立一个恒星通量标准理论光谱数据库,可通过网络界面轻松访问。方法在虚拟天文台的框架内,德国天体物理虚拟天文台开发了注册服务 TheoSSA。它可以轻松访问恒星光谱能量分布 (SED),并旨在摄取由任何模型大气代码计算的 SED。以 DA 白矮星 G191−B2B 为例,我们证明该模型不仅再现了其整体连续体形状,还再现了其紫外光谱中显示的众多金属线。结果TheoSSA 正在运行,目前包含各种 DA 型白矮星的 SED。它将在不久的将来进行扩展,并且可以容纳所有初级和次级通量标准的 SED。 G191−B2B 的光谱分析表明,我们的静水力模型在 logg= 7.60 ± 0.05 时最好地再现了观测结果。我们新鉴定了 Fe vi、Ni vi 和 Zn iv 系。我们首次确定了光球锌丰度,其对数质量分数为-4.89(7.5 × 太阳)。精确测定了 He(上限)、C、N、O、Al、Si、O、P、S、Fe、Ni、Ge 和 Sn 的丰度。推导出 Ti、Cr、Mn 和 Co 的丰度上限约为 10% 太阳光。结论 TheoSSA 恒星通量标准理论 SED 数据库保证了所有天文数据的通量校准和不同仪器之间的交叉校准可以基于相同的模型和使用不同模型大气代码计算的 SED,并且易于比较。
ContextHydrogen-rich, DA-type white dwarfs are particularly suited as primary standard stars for flux calibration. State-of-the-art NLTE models consider opacities of species up to trans-iron elements and provide reliable synthetic stellar-atmosphere spectra to compare with observations.AimsWe will establish a database of theoretical spectra of stellar flux standards that are easily accessible via a web interface.MethodsIn the framework of the Virtual Observatory, the German Astrophysical Virtual Observatory developed the registered service TheoSSA. It provides easy access to stellar spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and is intended to ingest SEDs calculated by any model-atmosphere code. In case of the DA white dwarf G191−B2B, we demonstrate that the model reproduces not only its overall continuum shape but also the numerous metal lines exhibited in its ultraviolet spectrum.ResultsTheoSSA is in operation and contains presently a variety of SEDs for DA-type white dwarfs. It will be extended in the near future and can host SEDs of all primary and secondary flux standards. The spectral analysis of G191−B2B has shown that our hydrostatic models reproduce the observations best at and logg= 7.60 ± 0.05. We newly identified Fe vi, Ni vi, and Zn iv lines. For the first time, we determined the photospheric zinc abundance with a logarithmic mass fraction of −4.89 (7.5 × solar). The abundances of He (upper limit), C, N, O, Al, Si, O, P, S, Fe, Ni, Ge, and Sn were precisely determined. Upper abundance limits of about 10% solar were derived for Ti, Cr, Mn, and Co.ConclusionsThe TheoSSA database of theoretical SEDs of stellar flux standards guarantees that the flux calibration of all astronomical data and cross-calibration between different instruments can be based on the same models and SEDs calculated with different model-atmosphere codes and are easy to compare.
