In the first paper of this series (Rhea et al. 2020), we demonstrated that neural networks can robustly and efficiently estimate kinematic parameters for optical emission-line spectra taken by SITELLE at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. This paper expands upon this notion by developing an artificial neural network to estimate the line ratios of strong emission-lines present in the SN1, SN2, and SN3 filters of SITELLE. We construct a set of 50,000 synthetic spectra using line ratios taken from the Mexican Million Model database replicating Hii regions. Residual analysis of the network on the test set reveals the networks ability to apply tight constraints to the line ratios. We verified the networks efficacy by constructing an activation map, checking the [N ii] doublet fixed ratio, and applying a standard k-fold cross-correlation. Additionally, we apply the network to SITELLE observation of M33; the residuals between the algorithms estimates and values calculated using standard fitting methods show general agreement. Moreover, the neural network reduces the computational costs by two orders of magnitude. Although standard fitting routines do consistently well depending on the signal-to-noise ratio of the spectral features, the neural network can also excel at predictions in the low signal-to-noise regime within the controlled environment of the training set as well as on observed data when the source spectral properties are well constrained by models. These results reinforce the power of machine learning in spectral analysis.

SITELLE is a novel integral field unit spectroscopy instrument that has an impressive spatial (11 by 11 arcmin), spectral coverage, and spectral resolution (R=1-20000). SIGNALS is anticipated to obtain deep observations (down to 3.6x10-17ergs s-1cm-2
) of 40 galaxies, each needing complex and substantial time to extract spectral information. We present a method that uses Convolution Neural Networks (CNN) for estimating emission line parameters in optical spectra obtained with SITELLE as part of the SIGNALS large program. Our algorithm is trained and tested on synthetic data representing typical emission spectra for HII regions based on Mexican Million Models database(3MdB) BOND simulations. The networks activation map demonstrates its ability to extract the dynamical (broadening and velocity) parameters from a set of 5 emission lines (e.g. H{alpha}, N[II] doublet, and S[II] doublet) in the SN3 (651-685 nm) filter of SITELLE. Once trained, the algorithm was tested on real SITELLE observations in the SIGNALS program of one of the South West fields of M33. The CNN recovers the dynamical parameters with an accuracy better than 5 km s-1 in regions with a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 15 over the H{alpha}line. More importantly, our CNN method reduces calculation time by over an order of magnitude on the spectral cube with native spatial resolution when compared with standard fitting procedures. These results clearly illustrate the power of machine learning algorithms for the use in future IFU-based missions. Subsequent work will explore the applicability of the methodology to other spectral parameters such as the flux of key emission lines.
The hot intra-cluster medium (ICM) surrounding the heart of galaxy clusters is a complex medium comprised of various emitting components. Although previous studies of nearby galaxy clusters, such as the Perseus, the Coma, or the Virgo cluster, have d
emonstrated the need for multiple thermal components when spectroscopically fitting the ICMs X-ray emission, no systematic methodology for calculating the number of underlying components currently exists. In turn, underestimating or overestimating the number of components can cause systematic errors in the emission parameter estimations. In this paper, we present a novel approach to determining the number of components using an amalgam of machine learning techniques. Synthetic spectra containing a various number of underlying thermal components were created using well-established tools available from the textit{Chandra} X-ray Observatory. The dimensions of the training set was initially reduced using the Principal Component Analysis and then categorized based on the number of underlying components using a Random Forest Classifier. Our trained and tested algorithm was subsequently applied to textit{Chandra} X-ray observations of the Perseus cluster. Our results demonstrate that machine learning techniques can efficiently and reliably estimate the number of underlying thermal components in the spectra of galaxy clusters, regardless of the thermal model (MEKAL versus APEC). %and signal-to-noise ratio used. We also confirm that the core of the Perseus cluster contains a mix of differing underlying thermal components. We emphasize that although this methodology was trained and applied on textit{Chandra} X-ray observations, it is readily portable to other current (e.g. XMM-Newton, eROSITA) and upcoming (e.g. Athena, Lynx, XRISM) X-ray telescopes.

The cosmic web plays a major role in the formation and evolution of galaxies and defines, to a large extent, their properties. However, the relation between galaxies and environment is still not well understood. Here we present a machine learning app
roach to study imprints of environmental effects on the mass assembly of haloes. We present a galaxy-LSS machine learning classifier based on galaxy properties sensitive to the environment. We then use the classifier to assess the relevance of each property. Correlations between galaxy properties and their cosmic environment can be used to predict galaxy membership to void/wall or filament/cluster with an accuracy of $93%$. Our study unveils environmental information encoded in properties of haloes not normally considered directly dependent on the cosmic environment such as merger history and complexity. Understanding the physical mechanism by which the cosmic web is imprinted in a halo can lead to significant improvements in galaxy formation models. This is accomplished by extracting features from galaxy properties and merger trees, computing feature scores for each feature and then applying support vector machine to different feature sets. To this end, we have discovered that the shape and depth of the merger tree, formation time and density of the galaxy are strongly associated with the cosmic environment. We describe a significant improvement in the original classification algorithm by performing LU decomposition of the distance matrix computed by the feature vectors and then using the output of the decomposition as input vectors for support vector machine.
We present a star/galaxy classification for the Southern Photometric Local Universe Survey (S-PLUS), based on a Machine Learning approach: the Random Forest algorithm. We train the algorithm using the S-PLUS optical photometry up to $r$=21, matched t
o SDSS/DR13, and morphological parameters. The metric of importance is defined as the relative decrease of the initial accuracy when all correlations related to a certain feature is vanished. In general, the broad photometric bands presented higher importance when compared to narrow ones. The influence of the morphological parameters has been evaluated training the RF with and without the inclusion of morphological parameters, presenting accuracy values of 95.0% and 88.1%, respectively. Particularly, the morphological parameter {rm FWHM/PSF} performed the highest importance over all features to distinguish between stars and galaxies, indicating that it is crucial to classify objects into stars and galaxies. We investigate the misclassification of stars and galaxies in the broad-band colour-colour diagram $(g-r)$ versus $(r-i)$. The morphology can notably improve the classification of objects at regions in the diagram where the misclassification was relatively high. Consequently, it provides cleaner samples for statistical studies. The expected contamination rate of red galaxies as a function of the redshift is estimated, providing corrections for red galaxy samples. The classification of QSOs as extragalactic objects is slightly better using photometric-only case. An extragalactic point-source catalogue is provided using the classification without any morphology feature (only the SED information) with additional constraints on photometric redshifts and {rm FWHM/PSF} values.
Triggered star formation around HII regions could be an important process. The Galactic HII region RCW 79 is a prototypical object for triggered high-mass star formation. We take advantage of Herschel data from the surveys HOBYS, Evolution of Interst
ellar Dust, and Hi-Gal to extract compact sources in this region, complemented with archival 2MASS, Spitzer, and WISE data to determine the physical parameters of the sources (e.g., envelope mass, dust temperature, and luminosity) by fitting the spectral energy distribution. We obtained a sample of 50 compact sources, 96% of which are situated in the ionization-compressed layer of cold and dense gas that is characterized by the column density PDF with a double-peaked lognormal distribution. The 50 sources have sizes of 0.1-0.4 pc with a typical value of 0.2 pc, temperatures of 11-26 K, envelope masses of 6-760 $M_odot$, densities of 0.1-44 $times$ $10^5$ cm$^{-3}$, and luminosities of 19-12712 $L_odot$. The sources are classified into 16 class 0, 19 intermediate, and 15 class I objects. Their distribution follows the evolutionary tracks in the diagram of bolometric luminosity versus envelope mass (Lbol-Menv) well. A mass threshold of 140 $M_odot$, determined from the Lbol-Menv diagram, yields 12 candidate massive dense cores that may form high-mass stars. The core formation efficiency (CFE) for the 8 massive condensations shows an increasing trend of the CFE with density. This suggests that the denser the condensation, the higher the fraction of its mass transformation into dense cores, as previously observed in other high-mass star-forming regions.
