摘要

We present a systematic evaluation of modern multimodal large language models (LLMs) for the classification of mean-motion and secular resonances from images of resonant arguments. Four benchmark datasets (RB-TEST, RB-PILOT, RB-SMALL, RB-FULL) were constructed to cover clear, ambiguous, and transient cases, with both binary and three-class outputs. Using standardized prompts (a full prompt for large models and a simplified variant for small models that cannot process complex instructions), we tested flagship commercial models, large open-source models, and small locally runnable models. Commercial LLMs reach \(F_1=100\%\) on simple cases and up to \(94\%\) on the three-class RB-SMALL dataset, while the best open-source models also reach \(100\%\) on unambiguous cases and \(76\%\) on the complex ones. On the full binary benchmark, open-source models approach commercial performance ( \(F_1\approx 90\) \(96\%\) ). Most errors occur in transient and resonance-sticking regimes. The results show that LLMs can perform resonance classification at levels comparable to those of classical or machine-learning methods without training or fine-tuning, and that even small open-source models achieve practically useful accuracy. The released benchmarks establish a reproducible standard for evaluating LLMs on dynamical astronomy tasks.
