The third Gaia data release provides low-resolution spectra for around 200 million sources. It is expected that a sizeable fraction of them contain a white dwarf (WD), either isolated, or in a binary system with a main-sequence (MS) companion, i.e. a white dwarf-main sequence (WDMS) binary. Taking advantage of a consolidated Random Forest algorithm used in the classification of WDs, we extend it to study the feasibility of classifying Gaia WDMS binary spectra. The Random Forest algorithm is first trained with a set of synthetic spectra generated by combining individual WD and MS spectra for the full range of effective temperatures and surface gravities. Moreover, with the aid of a detailed population synthesis code, we simulate the Gaia spectra for the above mentioned populations. For evaluating the performance of the models, a set of metrics are applied to our classifications. Our results show that for resolving powers above ~300 the accuracy of the classification depends exclusively on the SNR of the spectra, while below that value the SNR should be increased as the resolving power is reduced to maintain a certain accuracy. The algorithm is then applied to the already classified SDSS WDMS catalogue, revealing that the automated classification exhibits an accuracy comparable (or even higher) to previous classification methods. Finally, we simulate the {\it Gaia} spectra, showing that our algorithm is able to correctly classify nearly 80% the synthetic WDMS spectra. Our algorithm represents a useful tool in the analysis and classification of real Gaia WDMS spectra. Even for those spectra dominated by the flux of the MS stars, the algorithm reaches a high degree of accuracy (60%).
Membership of Stars in Open Clusters using Random Forest with Gaia Data
恒星在疏散星团中的成员资格是星团研究中最重要的参数之一。盖亚因为其前所未有的6-D数据而在成员估计方面打开了一个新的窗口。在本研究中,我们使用9个疏散星团的成员数据作为训练集,使用监督随机森林模型从Gaia DR 2数据中找到新成员,精度约为90%。发现的新成员数量往往是公布数量的两倍。星团中较大样本恒星的成员概率在确定星团参数如距离、消光和质量函数方面是一个主要的好处。我们还发现了成员在集群的外部区域,并发现在集群研究的子结构。由于新成员的加入,颜色星等图更加充实,使他们的研究更有前途。
