Abstract
The Landolt’s standard stars catalog is the most widely utilized for CCD astronomy in the broad band photometry system. The Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) is one of the usage of the newly photometric system. In this work, the main objective of this paper is to calibrate observations in the U, B, V, R, and I bands by utilizing data in the g, r, and i bands from the literature. First, the machine learning based method XGBoost is employed to train a model for selecting objects with linear relations between the two catalogs. Then, the color transformation method is utilized to convert objects with magnitudes of Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) catalog to the system, and a set of transformation coefficients is presented. A photometric calibration system is developed and the color based calibration method is implemented in the system. The typical calibration errors of standard field from instrumental magnitudes to those of standard system are derived as 0.173mag, 0.053mag, 0.024mag, 0.019mag, 0.020mag, respectively. Furthermore, the light curve comparison of SN 2017hpa of a large number of observations from different nights suggests that this method can be qualified for various astrometric observations.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
