摘要

We describe a modification of the usual definition of astronomicalmagnitudes, replacing the usual logarithm with an inverse hyperbolic sinefunction; we call these modified magnitudes `asinh magnitudes'. For objectsdetected at signal-to-noise ratios of greater than about five, our modifieddefinition is essentially identical to the traditional one; for fainter objects(including those with a formally negative flux) our definition is well behaved,tending to a definite value with finite errors as the flux goes to zero. This new definition is especially useful when considering the colors of faintobjects, as the difference of two `asinh' magnitudes measures the usual fluxratio for bright objects, while avoiding the problems caused by dividing twovery uncertain values for faint objects. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data products will use this scheme toexpress all magnitudes in their catalogs.
