| contents | We trained denoiser autoencoding neural networks on medium resolution simulated optical spectra of late-type stars to demonstrate that the reconstruction of the original flux is possible at a typical relative error of a fraction of a percent down to a typical signal-to-noise ratio of 10 per pixel. We show that relatively simple networks are capable of learning the characteristics of stellar spectra while still flexible enough to adapt to different values of extinction and fluxing imperfections that modifies the overall shape of the continuum, as well as to different values of Doppler shift. Denoised spectra can be used to find initial values for traditional stellar template fitting algorithms and - since evaluation of pre-trained neural networks is significantly faster than traditional template fitting - denoiser networks can be useful when a fast analysis of the noisy spectrum is necessary, for example during observations, between individual exposures. |
