DELOS用对比学习提升低信噪比下开普勒数据中浅周期凌星信号的搜寻效率。
DELOS: Contrastive Deep Learning for Low-SNR Blind Transit Searches in Kepler Photometry

- 基于对比评分的深度学习框架,结合相位折叠与卷积编码器识别凌星特征。
- 在低信噪比下比BLS和TLS精度提升11.25%~15.5%,搜索速度加快74~80倍。
- 适合寻找长周期类地行星,适用于开普勒、TESS等多任务空间巡天数据。
我们提出DELOS(基于对比评分的相位折叠光变曲线检测),一种用于开普勒光度数据中盲搜浅周期凌星信号的深度学习框架。该方法结合GPU加速的相位折叠、优化的相位分箱及定制的一维卷积编码器,为每条折叠光变曲线生成凌星相似度评分,从而在不依赖预检阈值穿越事件的情况下构建评分周期图谱。针对100-150天中间至长周期信号,模型在2000万条含真实凌星模型与开普勒噪声特性的合成光变曲线数据上训练,合成验证集准确率达99.3%。在受控注入恢复实验中,相较于盒形拟合最小二乘法(BLS)与凌星最小二乘法(TLS),DELOS在低信噪比条件下联合精度-召回率提升15.5%和11.25%;搜索效率分别提高约3-5倍和74-80倍。应用于选定开普勒验证样本,成功恢复全部已知的浅周期中间至长周期凌星信号。结果表明,DELOS为低信噪比凌星搜寻提供高效灵敏的框架,是未来在开普勒、K2、TESS、PLATO及地球2.0数据中搜寻长周期类地行星的重要技术推进。本工作聚焦方法开发与验证,新候选者的天体物理验证留待后续研究。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We present DEtection in phase-folded Light curves with cOntrastive Scoring (DELOS), a deep-learning framework that uses contrastive scoring to perform blind searches for shallow transits in Kepler photometry. DELOS combines GPU-accelerated phase folding, optimized phase binning, and a custom one-dimensional convolutional encoder to assign a transit-likeness score to each folded light curve, thereby producing a score periodogram over trial periods without relying on pre-detected threshold-crossing events. Focusing on intermediate-to-long-period signals with orbital periods of 100-150 days, DELOS was trained on 20 million synthetic light curves generated with realistic transit models and Kepler-like noise properties, achieving a validation accuracy of 99.3% on the synthetic validation set. In controlled injection-recovery experiments, DELOS improves the combined precision-recall performance by 15.5% relative to Box-fitting Least Squares (BLS) and 11.25% relative to Transit Least Squares (TLS) in the low Signal-to-Noise Ratios (low-SNR) regime. It also accelerates the search by factors of approximately 3-5 and 74-80 compared with BLS and TLS, respectively. Applied to a selected Kepler validation sample, DELOS recovered all known shallow intermediate-to-long-period transit signals in the tested period range. These results demonstrate that DELOS provides an efficient and sensitive framework for low-SNR transit searches and represents a practical step toward future searches for longer-period terrestrial planets in Kepler, K2, TESS, PLATO, and Earth 2.0 data. Accordingly, this work is intended as a methodological development and validation study, with the detailed astrophysical validation of newly identified candidates deferred to future work.
