AI总结:

本研究针对高银纬、远距离区域疏散星团搜索不足的问题,结合混合无监督聚类与随机森林算法,在Gaia DR3中拓展搜索区域开展盲搜索,最终在5千秒差距内发现1179个新高置信度星团,助力银河系结构演化研究。

摘要:

研究疏散星团(OCs)对于全面理解银河系的结构与演化至关重要。以往诸多研究已在太阳系附近1.2千秒差距范围内或银纬20度以内系统搜索过疏散星团,但针对更高银纬、更远距离区域的疏散星团搜索研究较少。本研究基于混合无监督聚类算法(Friends-of-Friends与pyUPMASK)和二分类算法(Random Forest),拓展了搜索区域(即银纬|b|≥20度),在Gaia DR3中开展了银河系星团的精细化盲搜索。交叉匹配后,研究人员利用等时线拟合对新发现的候选星团进行拟合,估算这些星团的主要物理参数(年龄与金属丰度),随后通过人工目视检查对候选星团进行核验,还将其统计性质与已公布的星团表进行了对比。最终,研究在5千秒差距范围内以较高置信度发现了1179个新星团。

英文摘要:

Studying open clusters (OCs) is essential for a comprehensive understanding of the structure and evolution of the Milky Way. Many previous studies have systematically searched for OCs near the solar system within 1.2 kpc or 20 degrees of galactic latitude. However, few studies searched for OCs at higher galactic latitudes and deeper distances. In this study, based on a hybrid unsupervised clustering algorithm (Friends-of-Friends and pyUPMASK) and a binary classification algorithm (Random Forest), we extended the search region (i.e., galactic latitude |b|>=20 degrees) and performed a fine-grained blind search of Galactic clusters in Gaia DR3. After cross-matching, the newly discovered cluster candidates are fitted using isochrone fitting to estimate the main physical parameters (age and metallicity) of these clusters. These cluster candidates were then checked using manual visual inspection. Their statistical properties were compared with previously exposed cluster catalogs as well. In the end, we found 1,179 new clusters with considerable confidence within 5kpc.
