How to set up your first machine learning project in astronomy

Johannes Buchner, Sotiria Fotopoulou

Large, freely available, well-maintained data sets have made astronomy a popular playground for machine learning projects. Nevertheless, robust insights gained to both machine lear…

Efficient Analysis Routines for Single and Double Peaked Type 2 AGN Spectra

Matthew Selwood, Giorgio Calderone, Sotiria Fotopoulou +1

Driven by the imminent need to rapidly process and classify millions of AGN spectra drawn from next generation astronomical facilities, we present a spectral fitting routine for Ty…

Detecting neutral hydrogen at z > 3 in large spectroscopic surveys of quasars

Michele Fumagalli, Sotiria Fotopoulou, Laura Thomson

We present a pipeline based on a random forest classifier for the identification of high column-density clouds of neutral hydrogen (i.e. the Lyman limit systems, LLSs) in absorptio…

The survey: XL. Obscuration properties of red AGN in

V. A. Masoura, I. Georgantopoulos, G. Mountrichas +6

The combination of optical and mid-infrared (MIR) photometry has been extensively used to select red active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Our aim is to explore the obscuration properties…

4MOST Consortium Survey 6: Active Galactic Nuclei

A. Merloni, D. A. Alexander, M. Banerji +17

X-ray and mid-infrared emission are signposts of the accretion of matter onto the supermassive black holes that reside at the centres of most galaxies. As a major step towards unde…
