Prospects for Galactic and stellar astrophysics with asteroseismology of giant stars in the Continuous Viewing Zones and beyond

J. Ted Mackereth, Andrea Miglio, Yvonne Elsworth +30

The NASA- mission presents a treasure trove for understanding the stars it observes and the Milky Way, in which they reside. We present a first look at the prospects for…

Hubble Space Telescope Observations of Two Faint Dwarf Satellites of Nearby LMC Analogs from MADCASH

Jeffrey L. Carlin, Burcin Mutlu-Pakdil, Denija Crnojevic +11

We present a deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging study of two dwarf galaxies in the halos of Local Volume Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) analogs. These dwarfs were discovered a…

Pushing automated morphological classifications to their limits with the Dark Energy Survey

J. Vega-Ferrero, H. Domínguez Sánchez, M. Bernardi +60

We present morphological classifications of 27 million galaxies from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Data Release 1 (DR1) using a supervised deep learning algorithm. The classif…

The Cepheid Distance to the Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 4051

Wenlong Yuan, Lucas M. Macri, Bradley M. Peterson +15

We derive a distance of ~Mpc (~mag) to the archetypal narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4051 based on Cepheid Period--Luminosity relations and new…

A machine learning approach to galaxy properties: joint redshift-stellar mass probability distributions with Random Forest

S. Mucesh, W. G. Hartley, A. Palmese +72

We demonstrate that highly accurate joint redshift-stellar mass probability distribution functions (PDFs) can be obtained using the Random Forest (RF) machine learning (ML) algorit…

Galaxy Alignments with Surrounding Structure in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Dhvanil D. Desai, Barbara S. Ryden

Using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Legacy Survey, we study the alignment of luminous galaxies with spectroscopic data with the surrounding larger-scale structure a…
