Abstract:
The scientific community needs to be prepared to analyse the data from
Gaia, one of the most ambitious ESA space missions, which is to be
launched in 2012. The purpose of this paper is to provide data and
tools to predict how Gaia photometry is expected to be. To do so, we
provide relationships among colours involving Gaia magnitudes (white
light G, blue GBP, red GRP and GRVS bands) and colours from other
commonly used photometric systems (Johnson-Cousins, SDSS, Hipparcos
and Tycho). The most up-to-date information from industrial partners
has been used to define the nominal passbands, and based on the
BaSeL3.1 stellar spectral energy distribution library, relationships
were obtained for stars with different reddening values, ranges of
temperatures, surface gravities and metallicities. The transformations
involving Gaia and Johnson-Cousins V-IC and SDSS g-z colours have
the lowest residuals. A polynomial expression for the relation between
the effective temperature and the colour GBP-GRP was derived for
stars with Teff higher than 4500K. For stars with Teff smaller than
4500K, dispersions exist in gravity and metallicity for each
absorption value in g-r and r-i. Transformations involving two Johnson
or two SDSS colours yield lower residuals than using only one colour.
We also computed several ratios of total-to-selective absorption
including absorption AG in the G band and colour excess
E(GBP-GRP) for our sample stars. A relationship involving
AG/AV and the intrinsic (V-IC) colour is provided. The derived
Gaia passbands have been used to compute tracks and isochrones using
the Padova and BASTI models, and the passbands have been included in
both web sites. Finally, the performances of the predicted Gaia
magnitudes have been estimated according to the magnitude and the
celestial coordinates of the star. The provided dependencies among
colours can be used for planning scientific exploitation of Gaia data,
performing simulations of the Gaia-like sky, planning ground-based
complementary observations and for building catalogues with auxiliary
data for the Gaia data processing and validation.
Description:
In table 11, we present the magnitudes values for Gaia,
Johnson-Cousins, Hipparcos, Tycho and Sloan bands. These magnitude are
derived for the BaSeL3.1 sample stars with four absorption values
(0,1,3,5).
Table 12 displays the bolometric correction un G, BP and RP for the
BaSeL3.1 stars.
Table 13 represents the computed ratios for interstellar absorption in
different bands.
