ABSTRACT

Astronomical spectra, which encode rich astrophysical and chemical information, are fundamental to understanding celestial objects and universal laws. The advent of large-scale spectroscopic surveys, generating tens of millions of spectra, presents significant challenges for efficient data processing and analysis. To address these challenges, we develop an AI-powered platform (named ``SpecZoo'') for spectral visualization and analysis. This platform integrates modern information technology and machine learning to lower the barrier to spectral data utilization and enhance research efficiency. Its core functionalities include interactive visualization, automated spectral classification, physical parameter measurement, spectral annotation, and multi-band/multi-modal data fusion, all supported by flexible user and data management systems. It has become an essential tool for the National Astronomical Data Center, directly supporting spectral data processing and research for major projects including LAMOST, SDSS, DESI, and so on. Furthermore, the platform demonstrates strong potential for science-education integration, providing a novel resource for cultivating talent in astronomy and data science.

研究动机与目标

• Enable efficient visualization and analysis of large-scale spectroscopic data while lowering barriers for researchers and students.
• Provide AI-powered classification, parameter estimation, redshift measurement, and anomaly detection for spectra from major surveys.
• Integrate cross-survey data access, spectral templates, and collaborative annotation to build a sustainable spectral data ecosystem.
• Support science-education integration by enabling authentic spectral data exploration and annotation workflows.

提出的方法

• Modular web-based architecture with four layers: User Roles, Visualization and Label, Data Node, and AI Layer.
• Predefined spectral templates (334) and a library of characteristic lines to standardize classification and line identification.
• AI-backed modules MSPC-Net for spectral classification, SLAM for stellar parameter prediction, SpecCLIP for hybrid NLP-spectral analysis, and GaSNet-III for reconstruction and redshift estimation.
• Cross-survey data ingestion with automated validation, template matching, and redshift/velocity measurements, plus multi-band data fusion and noise reduction.
• Role-based collaboration with task configuration, multi-round annotation, and data sharing across PublicDB, GroupDB, and MyDB.
