| Abstract | |
Context. We present a new methodology for the estimation of stellar atmospheric parameters from narrow- and intermediate-band photometry of the Javalambre Photometric Local Universe Survey (J-PLUS), and propose a method for target pre-selection of low-metallicity stars for follow-up spectroscopic studies. Photometric metallicity estimates for stars in the globular cluster M15 are determined using this method. Aims. By development of a neural-network-based photometry pipeline, we aim to produce estimates of effective temperature, T-eff, and metallicity, {[}Fe/H], for a large subset of stars in the J-PLUS footprint. Methods. The Stellar Photometric Index Network Explorer, SPHINX, was developed to produce estimates of T-eff and {[}Fe/H], after training on a combination of J-PLUS photometric inputs and synthetic magnitudes computed for medium-resolution (R similar to 2000) spectra of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This methodology was applied to J-PLUS photometry of the globular cluster M15. Results. Effective temperature estimates made with J-PLUS Early Data Release photometry exhibit low scatter, sigma(T-eff) = 91 K, over the temperature range 4500 < T-eff (K) < 8500. For stars from the J-PLUS First Data Release with 4500 < T-eff (K) < 6200, 85 +/- 3% of stars known to have {[}Fe/H] < -2.0 are recovered by SPHINX. A mean metallicity of {[}Fe/H] = 2.32 +/- 0.01, with a residual spread of 0.3 dex, is determined for M15 using J-PLUS photometry of 664 likely cluster members. Conclusions. We confirm the performance of SPHINX within the ranges specified, and verify its utility as a stand-alone tool for photometric estimation of effective temperature and metallicity, and for pre-selection of metal-poor spectroscopic targets.
