Machine learning technique for morphological classification of galaxies from SDSS. II. The image-based morphological catalogs of galaxies at 0.02<z<0.1

Abstract

We applied the image-based approach with a convolutional neural network model to the sample of low-redshifts galaxies with $-24^m<M_r<-19.4^m$ from the SDSS DR9. We divided it into two subsamples, SDSS DR9 galaxy dataset and Galaxy Zoo 2 (GZ2) dataset, considering them as the inference and training datasets, respectively. As a result, we created the morphological catalog of 315782 galaxies at 0.02<z<0.1, where morphological five classes and 34 detailed features (bar, rings, number of spiral arms, mergers, etc.) were first defined for 216148 galaxies (inference dataset) by the image-based CNN classifier. For the rest of galaxies the initial morphological classification was re-assigned as in the GZ2 project. Our method shows the promising performance of morphological classification attaining more 93 % of accuracy for five classes morphology prediction except the cigar-shaped (75 %) and completely rounded (83 %) galaxies. Main results are presented in the catalog of 19468 completely rounded, 27321 rounded in-between, 3235 cigar-shaped, 4099 edge-on, 18615 spiral, and 72738 general low-redshift galaxies of the studied SDSS sample. As for the classification of galaxies by their detailed structural morphological features, our CNN model gives the accuracy in the range of 92-99 % depending on features, a number of galaxies with the given feature in the inference dataset, and the galaxy image quality. We demonstrate that implication of the CNN model with adversarial validation and adversarial image data augmentation improves classification of smaller and fainter SDSS galaxies with $m_r$ <17.7.
