用神经网络发现Ca II吸收线

Discovering Ca II Absorption Lines With a Neural Network

Iona Xia, Jian Ge, Kevin Willis, Yinan Zhao

摘要:

类星体吸收线分析是研究早期宇宙中气体和尘埃成分及其物理化学性质以及星系演化和形成的关键。钙II吸收体是尘埃最多的吸收体之一,位于比大多数其他吸收体更低的红移处,在研究最近星系的物理过程和条件时特别有价值。然而,已知的类星体Ca II吸收体的数量相对较低,因为用传统方法很难检测到它们。在这项工作中,我们开发了一种使用深度学习搜索Ca II吸收线的准确快速方法。在我们的深度学习模型中,使用模拟数据调整的卷积神经网络用于分类任务。模拟的训练数据是通过插入人工钙II吸收线到原始的类星体光谱从斯隆数字巡天(SDSS),而现有的钙II目录作为测试集。由此产生的模型在测试集中的真实数据上达到了96%的准确率。我们的解决方案运行速度比传统方法快数千倍,只需几分之一秒即可分析数千个类星体,而传统方法可能需要数天至数周。训练好的神经网络应用于SDSS的DR 7和DR 12的类星体光谱,发现了399个新的类星体Ca II吸收体。此外,我们还确认了409个已知的类星体Ca II吸收体,这些吸收体以前由其他研究小组通过传统方法确定。

英文摘要:

Quasar absorption line analysis is critical for studying gas and dust components and their physical and chemical properties as well as the evolution and formation of galaxies in the early universe. Ca II absorbers, which are one of the dustiest absorbers and are located at lower redshifts than most other absorbers, are especially valuable when studying physical processes and conditions in recent galaxies. However, the number of known quasar Ca II absorbers is relatively low due to the difficulty of detecting them with traditional methods. In this work, we developed an accurate and quick approach to search for Ca II absorption lines using deep learning. In our deep learning model, a convolutional neural network, tuned using simulated data, is used for the classification task. The simulated training data are generated by inserting artificial Ca II absorption lines into original quasar spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) whilst an existing Ca II catalog is adopted as the test set. The resulting model achieves an accuracy of 96% on the real data in the test set. Our solution runs thousands of times faster than traditional methods, taking a fraction of a second to analyze thousands of quasars while traditional methods may take days to weeks. The trained neural network is applied to quasar spectra from SDSS's DR7 and DR12 and discovered 399 new quasar Ca II absorbers. In addition, we confirmed 409 known quasar Ca II absorbers identified previously by other research groups through traditional methods.
