abstract

Machine learning has increasingly gained more popularity with its incredibly powerful ability to make predictions or calculated suggestions for large amounts of data. We apply the machine learning classification to 85,613,922 objects in the $Gaia$ data release 2, based on the combination of the Pan-STARRS 1 and AllWISE data. The classification results are cross-matched with Simbad database, and the total accuracy is 91.9%. Our sample is dominated by stars, $\sim$ 98%, and galaxies makes up 2%. For the objects with negative parallaxes, about 2.5\% are galaxies and QSOs, while about 99.9% are stars if the relative parallax uncertainties are smaller than 0.2. Our result implies that using the threshold of 0 $< \sigma_\pi/\pi <$ 0.2 could yield a very clean stellar sample.
