Radio source-component association for the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey with region-based convolutional neural networks

Rafaël I. J. Mostert, Kenneth J. Duncan, Lara Alegre +5

Radio loud active galactic nuclei (RLAGNs) are often morphologically complex objects that can consist of multiple, spatially separated, components. Astronomers often rely on visual…

The Application of Ridgelines in Extended Radio Source Cross-Identification

B. Barkus, J. H. Croston, J. Piotrowska +8

Extended radio sources are an important minority population in modern deep radio surveys, because they enable detailed investigation of the physics governing radio-emitting regions…
