Abstract In this paper, we propose a new method to estimate stellar atmospheric parameters with photometric data, which is based on principal component analysis (PCA) and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) algorithms. We first use PCA transform all band data ( u , v g r i z ) then utilize LightGBM parameters. The experimental results show that the root mean square errors of for estimating effective temperature, surface gravity, metallicity are 90 K, 0.40 dex, 0.20 respectively....

Most of the previous studies on beryllium abundances in metal-poor stars have taken different Galactic populations as a whole when investigating production and evolution Be. In this Letter, we report detection systematic differences [α/H]–A(Be) relationships between low- high-α which were identified by works. We remind that one should be more careful Be with sample comprising populations, because such mixed may lead to inaccurate Be–Fe/Be–O relationships.
