摘要：
在宽视场图像中，观测恒星的光谱能量分布（SED）对于彩色点扩散函数（PSF）建模方法至关重要；这些方法将未分辨恒星用作整个视场内PSF的积分光谱样本。这对于弱引力透镜研究尤其重要，因为精确的PSF建模是获得准确剪切测量的必要条件。此前研究已经表明，可以利用机器学习分类算法从低分辨率观测中推断恒星的SED。然而，PSF尺寸可能在整个视场内发生显著变化，它与恒星光谱类型之间存在简并，从而严重限制了此类方法。我们提出一种新的SED分类方法，通过使用初步PSF模型纳入恒星光谱信息，从而打破这种简并并提高分类精度。该方法计算观测恒星与不同波长下初步PSF模型之间的一组相似性特征，并将支持向量机应用于这些相似性特征，以把观测恒星分类到特定恒星类别。所提方法达到91%的前二准确率，优于未考虑PSF光谱变化的机器学习方法。此外，我们还考察了PSF建模误差对光谱分类准确率的影响。
英文摘要：
The spectral energy distribution (SED) of observed stars in wide-field images is crucial for chromatic point spread function (PSF) modelling methods, which use unresolved stars as integrated spectral samples of the PSF across the field of view. This is particularly important for weak gravitational lensing studies, where precise PSF modelling is essential to get accurate shear measurements. Previous research has demonstrated that the SED of stars can be inferred from low-resolution observations using machine-learning classification algorithms. However, a degeneracy exists between the PSF size, which can vary significantly across the field of view, and the spectral type of stars, leading to strong limitations of such methods. We propose a new SED classification method that incorporates stellar spectral information by using a preliminary PSF model, thereby breaking this degeneracy and enhancing the classification accuracy. Our method involves calculating a set of similarity features between an observed star and a preliminary PSF model at different wavelengths and applying a support vector machine to these similarity features to classify the observed star into a specific stellar class. The proposed approach achieves a 91\% top-two accuracy, surpassing machine-learning methods that do not consider the spectral variation of the PSF. Additionally, we examined the impact of PSF modelling errors on the spectral classification accuracy.
