Machine Learning Applied to STAR-GALAXY-QSO Classification of The Javalambre-Photometric Local Universe Survey

2021 
In modern astronomy, machine learning as an raising realm for data analysis, has proved to be efficient and effective to mine the big data from the newest telescopes. By using support vector machine (SVM), we construct a supervised machine learning algorithm, to classify the objects in the Javalambre-Photometric Local Universe Survey (J-Plus). The sample is featured with 12-waveband, and magnitudes is labeled with spectrum-based catalogs, including Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectroscopic data, Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope, and VERONCAT - Veron Catalog of Quasars & AGN. The performance of the classifier is presented with the applications of blind test validations based on RAdial Velocity Extension, Kepler Input Catalog, 2 MASS Redshift Survey, and UV-bright Quasar Survey. The accuracies of the classifier are 96.5% in blind test and 97.0\% in training cross validation. The F_1-scores are 95.0% for STAR, 92.9% for GALAXY and 87.0% for QSO. In the classification for J-Plus catalog, we develop a new method to constrain the potential extrapolation.
