用大气模型训练的机器学习方法,精准识别超冷褐矮星
Atmospheric model-trained machine learning selection and classification of ultracool TY dwarfs
- 基于大气模型生成海量合成光度数据,训练分类模型
- 对已知超冷褐矮星分类准确率超99%,类型精度达0.35亚型内
- 适用于从光度巡天中发现暗弱、晚期型褐矮星,适合天体物理研究者
T和Y型恒星代表最冷、质量最低的棕矮星群体,但其普查仍不完整,主要因后期类型超冷褐矮星(UCDs)观测样本稀少。现有检测框架多限于识别M、L及早T型,难以覆盖晚期类型。本文提出一种完全基于大气模型合成光度数据训练的机器学习框架,用于探测和分类晚T型与Y型褐矮星。利用ATMO 2020与Sonora Bobcat模型网格,构建的训练数据集规模比任何实测> T6 UCD样本大两个数量级。通过多项式颜色关系为模型分配光谱类型,并训练集成分类器以识别和分类晚期UCDs。模型在合成与实测数据上均表现优异:已知UCDs分类准确率超过99%,平均光谱类型精度为0.35 ± 0.37亚型。将该模型应用于双鱼座附近1.5度区域及UKIDSS UDS场,发现一个此前未收录的T8.2候选体,验证了该方法从光度目录中发现暗弱、晚期型超冷褐矮星的能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The T and Y spectral classes represent the coolest and lowest-mass population of brown dwarfs, yet their census remains incomplete due to limited statistics. Existing detection frameworks are often constrained to identifying M, L, and early T dwarfs, owing to the sparse observational sample of ultracool dwarfs (UCDs) at later types. This paper presents a novel machine learning framework capable of detecting and classifying late-T and Y dwarfs, trained entirely on synthetic photometry from atmospheric models. Utilizing grids from the ATMO 2020 and Sonora Bobcat models, I produce a training dataset over two orders of magnitude larger than any empirical set of >T6 UCDs. Polynomial color relations fitted to the model photometry are used to assign spectral types to these synthetic models, which in turn train an ensemble of classifiers to identify and classify the spectral type of late UCDs. The model is highly performant when validating on both synthetic and empirical datasets, verifying catalogs of known UCDs with object classification metrics >99% and an average spectral type precision within 0.35 +/- 0.37 subtypes. Application of the model to a 1.5 degree region around Pisces and the UKIDSS UDS field results in the discovery of one previously uncatalogued T8.2 candidate, demonstrating the ability of this model-trained approach in discovering faint, late-type UCDs from photometric catalogs.
