Abstract

The growth of sky surveys and the large amount of stellar spectra in the current databases, has generated the necessity of developing new methods to estimate atmospheric parameters, a fundamental task on stellar research. In this work we present a comparison of different machine learning algorithms, using for the classification of stellar synthetic spectra and the estimation of fundamental stellar parameters included T_eff(K), log(L/Lo), log g, M/Mo, and Vrot. For both tasks, we established a group of supervised learning models, and propose a database of measures with the same structure to train the algorithms. This data includes equivalent-width types measurements over noisy synthetic spectra in order to replicate the natural noise on a real observed spectrum. Different levels of signal to noise ratio are considered for this analysis.
