We present a tool for measuring the equivalent width (EW) in high-resolution spectra. The Tool for Automatic Measurement of Equivalent width (TAME)provides the EWs of spectral lines by profile fitting in the automatic or the interactive mode, which can yield a more precise result through the adjustment of the local continuum and fitting parameters. The automatic EW results of TAME have been verified by comparing them with the manual EW measurements by IRAF splot task using the high-resolution spectrum of the Sun, and measuring EWs in the synthetic spectra with different spectral resolutions and S/N ratios. The EWs measured by TAME agree well with manually measured values, with a dispersion of less than 2 mA. By comparing the input EWs for synthetic spectra and EWs measured by TAME, we conclude that it is reliable for measuring the EWs in a spectrum with a spectral resolution, R > 20000 and find that the errors in EWs is less than 1 mA for a S/N ratio > 100.

With the accumulation of big data of CME observations by coronagraphs, automatic detection and tracking of CMEs has proven to be crucial. The excellent performance of convolutional neural network in image classification, object detection and other co mputer vision tasks motivates us to apply it to CME detection and tracking as well. We have developed a new tool for CME Automatic detection and tracking with MachinE Learning (CAMEL) techniques. The system is a three-module pipeline. It is first a supervised image classification problem. We solve it by training a neural network LeNet with training labels obtained from an existing CME catalog. Those images containing CME structures are flagged as CME images. Next, to identify the CME region in each CME-flagged image, we use deep descriptor transforming to localize the common object in an image set. A following step is to apply the graph cut technique to finely tune the detected CME region. To track the CME in an image sequence, the binary images with detected CME pixels are converted from cartesian to polar coordinate. A CME event is labeled if it can move in at least two frames and reach the edge of coronagraph field of view. For each event, a few fundamental parameters are derived. The results of four representative CMEs with various characteristics are presented and compared with those from four existing automatic and manual catalogs. We find that CAMEL can detect more complete and weaker structures, and has better performance to catch a CME as early as possible.

We verify whether the O/H abundances of galaxies can be derived from the equivalent width (EW) R23 instead of the extinction-corrected flux R23, and eventually propose a method of improving the reliability of this empirical method, which is often use d for the non-flux calibrated spectra of galaxies. We select 37,173 star-forming galaxies from the SDSS-DR2, which offers a wide range of properties to test the EW method. The EW-R23 method brings with it a significant bias: for the bulk of SDSS galaxies, it may affect the determination of log(O/H) by factors ranging from -0.2 to 0.1 dex and for some galaxies by factors ranging from -0.5 to 0.2 dex. We characterize this discrepancy (or bias) by alpha = (I_[OII]/I_Hbeta)/(EW_[OII]/EW_Hbeta), which is virtually independent of dust extinction, while tightly correlating with Dn(4000), although at a lower significance, with (g-r) colors. The EW-R23 method cannot be used as a proxy for the extinction-corrected flux R23 method. From analytical third-order polynomial fits of alpha versus (g-r) colors, we have been able to correct the EW-R23 method. With this additional and easy correction, the EW-R23 method provides O/H abundance values similar to those derived from the extinction-corrected flux R23 method with an accuracy of ~0.1 dex for >92% of the SDSS galaxies.
Different types of spectroscopies, such as X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and Raman spectroscopy, play a very important role in analyzing the characteristics of different materials. In scientific literature, XANES/Raman data are usually plotted in line graphs which is a visually appropriate way to represent the information when the end-user is a human reader. However, such graphs are not conducive to direct programmatic analysis due to the lack of automatic tools. In this paper, we develop a plot digitizer, named Plot2Spectra, to extract data points from spectroscopy graph images in an automatic fashion, which makes it possible for large scale data acquisition and analysis. Specifically, the plot digitizer is a two-stage framework. In the first axis alignment stage, we adopt an anchor-free detector to detect the plot region and then refine the detected bounding boxes with an edge-based constraint to locate the position of two axes. We also apply scene text detector to extract and interpret all tick information below the x-axis. In the second plot data extraction stage, we first employ semantic segmentation to separate pixels belonging to plot lines from the background, and from there, incorporate optical flow constraints to the plot line pixels to assign them to the appropriate line (data instance) they encode. Extensive experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed plot digitizer, which shows that such a tool could help accelerate the discovery and machine learning of materials properties.
We have investigated the ensemble regularities of the equivalent widths (EWs) of MgII 2800 emission line of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), using a uniformly selected sample of 2092 Seyfert 1 galaxies and quasars at 0.45 <= z <= 0.8 in the spectroscop ic data set of Sloan Digital Sky Survey Fourth Data Release. We find a strong correlation between the EW of MgII and the AGN Eddington ratio (L/L_Edd): EW(MgII) propto (L/L_Edd)^{-0.4}. Furthermore, for AGNs with the same L/L_Edd, their EWs of MgII show no correlation with luminosity, black hole mass or line width, and the MgII line luminosity is proportional to continuum luminosity, as expected by photoionization theory. Our result shows that MgII EW is not dependent on luminosity, but is solely governed by L/L_Edd.
[Abridged] We investigate the frequency of the various spectral types as a function both of the clusters properties and of the galaxies characteristics. In this way, using the same classification criteria adopted for higher redshift studies, we can c onsistently compare the properties of the local cluster population to those of their more distant counterparts. We describe a method we have developed to automatically measure the equivalent width of spectral lines in a robust way even in spectra with a non optimal signal to noise. Like this, we can derive a spectral classification reflecting the stellar content, based on the presence and strength of the [OII] and Hdelta lines. We are able to measure 4381 of the ~6000 originally observed spectra, in the fields of 48 clusters, 2744 of which are spectroscopically confirmed cluster members. The spectral classification is then analyzed as a function of galaxies luminosity, stellar mass, morphology, local density and host clusters global properties, and compared to higher redshift samples (MORPHS and EDisCS). The vast majority of galaxies in the local clusters population are passive objects, being also the most luminous and massive. At a magnitude limit of Mv<-18, galaxies in a post-starburst phase represent only ~11% of the cluster population and this fraction is reduced to ~5% at Mv<-19.5, which compares to the 18% at the same magnitude limit for high-z clusters. Normal star forming galaxies [e( c )] are proportionally more common in local clusters. The relative occurrence of post--starbursts suggests a very similar quenching efficiency in clusters at redshifts in the 0 to ~1 range. Furthermore, more important than the global environment, the local density seems to be the main driver of galaxy evolution in local clusters, at least with respect to their stellar populations content.
