Abstract:
The broadband spectral energy distribution of a galaxy encodes
valuable information on its stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR),
dust content, and possible fractional energy contribution from
nonstellar sources. We present a comprehensive catalog of panchromatic
photometry, covering 17 bands from the far-ultraviolet to 500µm,
for 2685 low-redshift (z=0.01-0.11), massive (M*>1010M☉)
galaxies selected from the Stripe 82 region of the Sloan Digital Sky
Survey, one of the largest areas with relatively deep, uniform
observations over a wide range of wavelengths. Taking advantage of the
deep optical coadded images, we develop a hybrid approach for
matched-aperture photometry of the multiband data. We derive robust
uncertainties and upper limits for undetected galaxies, deblend
interacting/merging galaxies and sources in crowded regions, and treat
contamination by foreground stars. We perform spectral energy
distribution fitting to derive the stellar mass, SFR, and dust mass,
critically assessing the influence of flux upper limits for undetected
photometric bands and applying corrections for systematic
uncertainties based on extensive mock tests. Comparison of our
measurements with those of commonly used published catalogs reveals
good agreement for the stellar masses. While the SFRs of galaxies on
the star-forming main sequence show reasonable consistency, galaxies
in and below the green valley show considerable disagreement between
different sets of measurements. Our analysis suggests that one should
incorporate the most accurate and inclusive photometry into the
spectral energy distribution analysis, and that care should be
exercised in interpreting the SFRs of galaxies with moderate to weak
star formation activity.
Description:
We select galaxies in the 79deg2 SDSS Stripe 82 region that is
covered by HerS (Viero+ 2014, J/ApJS/210/22) with the Herschel/SPIRE
instrument. The SDSS DR16 database provides the spectroscopic
redshift, spectral classification, and morphological classification
of each target.
We extract the optical urgiz images from Stripe 82, whose coadded
images are about 2mag deeper than typical SDSS single-scan images.
We perform our own aperture photometry after source deblending to
measure the total GALEX fluxes (FUV, λc∼1539Å) and NUV,
λc∼2316Å bands).
The NIR data come from images taken in the J (1.24um), H (1.66um), and
Ks (2.16um) bands from 2MASS and AllWISE (in the W1 (3.4um), W2
(4.6um), W3 (12um), and W4 (22um) bands. We download the 2MASS and
AllWISE images, including the AllWISE uncertainty maps, from the
NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive and reanalyze all the NIR and MIR
data in a uniform, self-consistent manner.
