A trade-off between speed and information controls our understanding of astronomical objects. Fast-to-acquire photometric observations provide global properties, while costly and time-consuming spectroscopic measurements enable a better understanding of the physics governing their evolution. Here, we tackle this problem by generating galaxy spectra directly from photometry, through which we obtain an estimate of their intricacies from easily acquired images. This is done by using multimodal conditional diffusion models, where the best out of the generated spectra is selected with a contrastive network. Initial experiments on minimally processed SDSS data show promising results.
