Observationally derived change in the star formation rate as mergers progress

W. J. Pearson, L. Wang, V. Rodriguez-Gomez +2

Galaxy mergers can change the rate at which stars are formed. We can trace when these changes occur in simulations of galaxy mergers. However, for observed galaxies we do not know…

Galaxy mergers classification using CNNs trained on Sérsic models, residuals and raw images

D. M. Chudy, W. J. Pearson, A. Pollo +5

Galaxy mergers are crucial for understanding galaxy evolution, and with large upcoming datasets, automated methods such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are essential for ef…

Morphological Classification of Galaxies Through Structural and Star Formation Parameters Using Machine Learning

G. Aguilar-Argüello, G. Fuentes-Pineda, H. M. Hernández-Toledo +9

We employ the XGBoost machine learning (ML) method for the morphological classification of galaxies into two (early-type, late-type) and five (E, S0--S0a, Sa--Sb, Sbc--Scd, Sd--Irr…

Galaxy merger challenge: A comparison study between machine learning-based detection methods

B. Margalef-Bentabol, L. Wang, A. La Marca +14

Various galaxy merger detection methods have been applied to diverse datasets. However, it is difficult to understand how they compare. We aim to benchmark the relative performance…

Effect of galaxy mergers on star formation rates

W. J. Pearson, L. Wang, M. Alpaslan +8

Galaxy mergers and interactions are an integral part of our basic understanding of how galaxies grow and evolve over time. However, the effect that galaxy mergers have on star form…
