The SAGE Photometric Sky Survey: Technical Description

Abstract

To investigate in more details of Stellar Abundance and Galactic Evolution (SAGE) and in a huge sample, we are performing a northern sky photometric survey named SAGES with the SAGE photometric system, which consists of 8 filters: Strömgren-$u$, SAGE-$v$, SDSS $g$, $r$, $i$, DDO-$51$, $H{\alpha }_{wide}$, and $H{\alpha }_{narrow}$, including three Sloan broadband filters, three intermediate-band filters and two narrow-band filters, and one newly-designed narrow-band filter. SAGES covers $\sim$12,000 square degrees of the northern sky with $\delta >-5^{\circ }$, excluding the Galactic disk ($|b|<10^{\circ }$) and the sky area of 12 hr $<$ R.A. $<$ 18\,hr. The photometric detection limit depth at signal-to-noise ratio $5\sigma$ can be as deep as $V\sim$20\,mag. The SAGES will produce a depth-uniformed photometric catalogue for $\sim$500 million stars with atmospheric parameters including effective temperature $T_{\mathrm{eff}}$, surface gravity log\,g, and metallicity [Fe/H], as well as interstellar extinction to each individual target. In this work, we will briefly introduce the SAGE photometric system, the SAGE survey, and a preliminary test field of the open cluster NGC\,6791 and around.
