Identifying Gems from Roman RAPIDly

- 构建鲁棒分类模型RuBR,基于模拟数据训练
- 三种模型在真实数据集上准确率超90%
- 适合天文预警系统开发者与数据科学家
詹姆斯·韦布空间望远镜的继任者——南希·格雷斯·罗曼太空望远镜(Roman),计划于2026年9月前发射,将开展高分辨率、高时间密度的宽视场红外巡天,有望发现数百万个天体瞬变现象。为实现快速科学产出,需提前部署自动化警报生成管道。然而目前尚无真实罗马望远镜数据,导致模型开发困难。本文提出机器学习模型RuBR及通用方法论,用于在RAPID流水线中区分真实瞬变与虚假检测。具体构建三种模型:$RuBR_{comb}$(联合本地注入与OpenUniverse2024数据训练测试)、$RuBR_{loc}$(本地数据训练,测试用OpenUniverse2024)、$RuBR_{DA}$(通过领域自适应融合部分真实数据)。该方法为任务初期缺乏真实标签时提供有效应对策略。实验表明,该方法在图像差分基础上显著提升真伪分类性能,具备在罗马时代稳健运行的潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman), set for launch as early as September 2026, will conduct wide-field infrared imaging surveys with unprecedented spatial resolution and cadence, enabling the discovery of millions of astronomical transients. Hence, it is necessary to have automated pipelines for generating alerts in place so that the telescope can begin discovering reliable transients and variable objects soon after it is launched. However, no real Roman data currently exist, making the development of such pipelines difficult. In this work, we present a machine learning model $RuBR$ and a general methodology for distinguishing genuine transient and variable detections from spurious (bogus) detections within the RAPID pipeline. In particular, we present three models using this methodology: $RuBR_{comb}$ trained and tested on combined locally injected and OpenUniverse2024 transients, $RuBR_{loc}$ trained on locally injected transients and tested on OpenUniverse2024 transients, and $RuBR_{DA}$ that combines locally injected transients with a fraction of OpenUniverse2024 transients in domain-adaptation mode for training. This paves the way for strategies to adapt the $RuBR_{comb}$ model to real observations in the absence of any ground-truth labels during the early phases of the Roman mission. While the image differencing pipeline continues to be improved, our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and its promise for robust real-bogus classification in the Roman era.
