摘要

En 中文
We introduce FLAME, a machine-learning algorithm designed to fit Voigt profiles to H I Lyman-alpha (Ly alpha) absorption lines using deep convolutional neural networks. FLAME integrates two algorithms: the first determines the number of components required to fit Ly alpha absorption lines, and the second calculates the Doppler parameter b, the H I column density NHI, and the velocity separation of individual components. For the current version of FLAME, we trained it on low-redshift Ly alpha forests observed with the far-ultraviolet gratings of the Cosmic Origin Spectrograph (COS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Using these data, we trained FLAME on similar to 106 simulated Voigt profiles - which we forward-modeled to mimic Ly alpha absorption lines observed with HST-COS - in order to classify lines as either single or double components and then determine Voigt profile-fitting parameters. FLAME shows impressive accuracy on the simulated data, identifying more than 98% (90%) of single (double) component lines. It determines b values within approximate to +/- 8 (15) km s(-1) and log N-HI/cm(2) values within approximate to +/- 0.3 (0.8) for 90% of the single (double) component lines. However, when applied to real data, FLAME's component classification accuracy drops by similar to 10%. Nevertheless, there is reasonable agreement between the b and NHI distributions obtained from traditional Voigt profile-fitting methods and FLAME's predictions. Our mock HST-COS data analysis, designed to emulate real data parameters, demonstrates that FLAME is able to achieve consistent accuracy comparable to its performance with simulated data. This finding suggests that the drop in FLAME's accuracy when used on real data primarily arises from the difficulty in replicating the full complexity of real data in the training sample. In any case, FLAME's performance validates the use of machine learning for Voigt profile fitting, underscoring the significant potential of machine learning for detailed analysis of absorption lines.
