AI总结:

本文提出基于机器学习的星系团成员分类算法C2-GaMe,利用相空间信息区分轨道运动、下落和背景星系,并通过概率预测和无偏估计量实现高精度星系团性质恢复,为星系团宇宙学和星系淬灭研究提供新工具。

摘要:

我们提出了星系团成员星系分类算法 C$^2$-GaMe(Classification of Cluster GAlaxy MEmbers),该算法基于一套机器学习模型,利用相空间信息作为输入,将星系区分为轨道运动、下落和背景(前景/背景污染)三类。我们使用基于 Multi-Dark Planck 2 N体模拟的 UniverseMachine 模拟星表来训练和测试 C$^2$-GaMe。我们证明,在估计星系团的物理性质(包括密度轮廓和速度弥散)时,概率分类优于确定性分类。我们提出了一组估计量,以获得星系团性质的无偏估计。我们证明,在投影相空间中存在前景/背景污染的情况下,使用概率预测时,C$^2$-GaMe 能够以小于 1% 的统计误差恢复轨道运动和下落星系的位置和速度分布。此外,我们通过将训练好的模型应用于不同的模拟,证明了模型的鲁棒性。最后,加入恒星形成率和星系晕质量与星系团晕质量之比作为额外特征,可以提高分类性能。我们讨论了该技术在改进星系团宇宙学和星系淬灭研究中的潜在应用。

英文摘要:

We present Classification of Cluster GAlaxy MEmbers (C$^2$-GaMe), a classification algorithm based on a suite of machine learning models that differentiates galaxies into orbiting, infalling, and background (interloper) populations, using phase space information as input. We train and test C$^2$-GaMe with the galaxies from UniverseMachine mock catalog based on Multi-Dark Planck 2 N-body simulations. We show that probabilistic classification is superior to deterministic classification in estimating the physical properties of clusters, including density profiles and velocity dispersion. We propose a set of estimators to get an unbiased estimation of cluster properties. We demonstrate that C$^2$-GaMe can recover the distribution of orbiting and infalling galaxies' position and velocity distribution with $<1\%$ statistical error when using probabilistic predictions in the presence of interlopers in the projected phase space. Additionally, we demonstrate the robustness of trained models by applying them to a different simulation. Finally, adding a specific star formation rate and the ratio of the galaxy's halo mass to the cluster's halo mass as additional features improves the classification performance. We discuss potential applications of this technique to enhance cluster cosmology and galaxy quenching.
