Photometric Separation of Stellar Properties Using SDSS Filters
Open accessAbstract
Using synthetic photometry of Kurucz model spectra, we explore the colors of stars as a function of temperature, metallicity, and surface gravity with Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) filters, u ' g ' r ' i ' z '. The synthetic colors show qualitative agreement with the few published observations in these filters. We find that the locus of synthetic stars is basically two-dimensional for 4500 < T < 8000 K, which precludes simultaneous color separation of the three basic stellar characteristics we consider. Colors including u ' contain the most information about normal stellar properties; measurements in this filter are also important for selecting white dwarfs. We identify two different subsets of the locus in which the loci separate by either metallicity or surface gravity. For 0.5 < g ' - r ' < 0.8 (corresponding roughly to G stars), the locus separates by metallicity; for photometric error of a few percent, we estimate metallicity to within ~0.5 dex in this range. In the range -0.15 < g ' - r ' < 0.00 (corresponding roughly to A stars), the locus shows separation by surface gravity. In both cases, we show that it is advantageous to use more than two colors when determining stellar properties by color. Strategic observations in SDSS filters are required to resolve the source of a ~5% discrepancy between synthetic colors of Gunn-Stryker stars, Kurucz models, and external determinations of the metallicities and surface gravities. The synthetic star colors can be used to investigate the properties of any normal star and to construct analytic expressions for the photometric prediction of stellar properties in special cases.

The LSST filter complement (ugrizy) is modeled after the SDSS system because of its demonstrated success in photometric redshifts of galaxies, separation of stellar populations, and photometric selection of quasars.
“The LSST fi lter complement ( ugrizy ; see Figure 4 ) is modeled after the SDSS system ( Fukugita et al. 1996 ) because of its demonstrated success in a wide variety of applications, including photometric redshifts of galaxies ( Budavári et al. 2003 ) , separation of stellar populations ( Lenz et al. 1998; Helmi et al. 2003 ) , and photometric selection of quasars ( Richards et al. 2002; Ross et”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
