Vital Statistics
The SDSS camera generates data at about 4.6Mby/s, cov-ering about 98.9 deg2/hr (but only 19.8 deg2/hr per band)with an exposure time per band of about 55s.
The camera’s footprint consists of 6 long strips (separatedby about 11arcmin), each 13.5 arcmin wide and up to 120◦
long.
The sky is scanned past the filters in the order r, i, u, z,taking 4.9 minutes to pass from the center of the r to thecenter of the g detector.
These strips are cut into a set of frames of size 2048× 1361pixels (13.5× 9 arcmin2)
The frames taken of the same patch of sky in the five bandsare assembled to form a frame.
![Page 6: Robert Lupton Princeton University](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012604/6199d6e31ab8532308379a83/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
We return on a later night to take a second set of stripswith the telescope offset so that the second set of datafills the gaps between the first; the two strips together arereferred to as a stripe
SDSS raw data consists of 16-bit unsigned numbers, andphoto doesn’t convert to float. A consequence of this isthat SDSS output files are 16-bit, and have a 1000DN ‘softbias’ added.

PSF modelling
Is SDSS Data Band Limited?
The amplitude of the PSF at the Nyquist limit for a PSFnormalised to unit flux. The bottom axis is in pixels; thetop axis is in arcsec, assuming 0.4 arcsec/pixel.
![Page 36: Robert Lupton Princeton University](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012604/6199d6e31ab8532308379a83/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

CR rejection
Cosmic Ray Pixels are identified because

CR rejection
Cosmic Ray Pixels are identified because
They lead to gradients that exceed the band limit;
I − c ∗N(I) > P (d)(I + cN(I))
)In practice we multiply P (d) by some fiddle factor, c2 < 1;we use c = 3.0, c2 = 0.8.
![Page 40: Robert Lupton Princeton University](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012604/6199d6e31ab8532308379a83/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
CR rejection
Cosmic Ray Pixels are identified because
They lead to gradients that exceed the band limit;
I − c ∗N(I) > P (d)(I + cN(I))
)In practice we multiply P (d) by some fiddle factor, c2 < 1;we use c = 3.0, c2 = 0.8.
We find about 160 cosmic rays per field in all bands exceptg, where we find about 330 and z where there are about 135;in total we thus find about as many cosmic rays as objectsin the 5 frames that make up a field.

The sky levels are wrong by 0.05 – 0.1 DN, which is im-portant for e.g. u-band Petrosian (aperture) fluxes.

This operation is carried out independently in the 5 SDSSbands, and the objects detected in each band are also mergedtogether.

Galaxies are harder.
Something that looks like the superposition of three galax-ies may well be just that, but without extra information (e.g.redshifts) we cannot be sure that it isn’t simply a messyblobby irregular galaxy that happens to have three peaks —or even a large elliptical galaxy that’s being viewed througha particularily perverse dust cloud.

A 1-D Toy Problem
Let us consider a simple 1-dimensional problem, a ‘star’and two ‘galaxies’.

If the object is a star we’d like the ‘model’ magnitude toequal that measured any other way. Our KL expansion al-lows us to reconstruct the PSF at the position of our object,and to determine the ratio of its PSF and model fluxes; mul-tiplying our model flux by this ratio then achieves our goal.

Fitting a model in each band gives the best estimate of thetotal flux in that band, but does not in general give the bestestimate of the object’s colour as the flux contains errors dueto both the photon noise in the image and to uncertaintiesin the model parameters.

Composite Model Magnitudes
Once we have models deV(I0, re, a/b) and exp(I0, re, a/b) fitto the data in any band, we can ask for the linear combina-tion of these two models which provides the best fit:
cmodel(I0, re, a/b) ≡ gdeV deV(I0, re, a/b) + gexpexp(I0, re, a/b).
Let us call the ratio gdeV /gexp ‘fdeV ’; it is restricted to lie inthe range 0—1. One application of fdeV is to estimate thetotal magnitude of the galaxy in a way that is less sensitive tothe departures of the true profile from either of our idealisedforms:
