AI总结:

本文利用KNN、线性回归、随机森林和神经网络等机器学习算法,基于ugriz测光星等预测星系盘、核球、恒星及总质量,其中神经网络精度最高,并能在SDSS观测样本中达到95%-99%置信水平,同时揭示质量-星等标度关系。

摘要:

星系的主要重子组分—— bulge(核球)和 disk(盘)的质量估计,可以通过多种方法进行,但它们的实施往往具有挑战性,因为这些方法通常依赖于关于重子动力学或暗物质模型的强假设。在本工作中,我们提出了一种替代方法,用于预测星系组分的质量,包括盘、核球、恒星质量和总质量,使用一组机器学习算法:KNN-近邻(KNN)、线性回归(LR)、随机森林(RF)和神经网络(NN)。选择 ugriz 测光系统中的静止系绝对星等作为输入特征,并使用来自 Millennium 模拟的 Guo 的模拟星表(Guo's mock catalogue)中具有核球的旋涡星系样本进行训练。总体而言,所有算法在训练质量域的中心区域(即 $10^9\\,M_\odot$ 到 $10^{11}\\,M_\odot$ 范围内)都能对星系质量组分提供良好的预测;然而,与其他方法相比,NN 给出了最精确的预测。此外,为了测试 NN 架构的性能,我们使用了来自 SDSS 巡天的观测星系样本,其质量组分已知。我们发现,NN 能够在与合成样本相同的星等范围内,以高达 99% 的置信水平预测盘主导星系的光度质量,而对于具有较大核球的星系,其质量组分也能在高达 95% 的置信水平下得到良好预测。NN 算法还能揭示不同组分质量与星等之间的标度关系。

英文摘要:

The estimation of the bulge and disk massses, the main baryonic components of a galaxy, can be performed using various approaches, but their implementation tend to be challenging as they often rely on strong assumptions about either the baryon dynamics or the dark matter model. In this work, we present an alternative method for predicting the masses of galactic components, including the disk, bulge, stellar and total mass, using a set of machine learning algorithms: KNN-neighbours (KNN), Linear Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF) and Neural Network (NN). The rest-frame absolute magnitudes in the ugriz-photometric system were selected as input features, and the training was performed using a sample of spiral galaxies hosting a bulge from Guo's mock catalogue \citep{Guo-Catalog} derived from the Millennium simulation. In general, all the algorithms provide good predictions for the galaxy's mass components ranging from $10^9\,M_\odot$ to $10^{11}\,M_\odot$, corresponding to the central region of the training mass domain; however, the NN give rise to the most precise predictions in comparison to other methods. Additionally, to test the performance of the NN architecture, we used a sample of observed galaxies from the SDSS survey whose mass components are known. We found that the NN can predict the luminous masses of disk-dominant galaxies within the same range of magnitudes that for the synthetic sample up to a $99\%$ level of confidence, while mass components of galaxies hosting larger bulges are well predicted up to $95\%$ level of confidence. The NN algorithm can also bring up scaling relations between masses of different components and magnitudes.
