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…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: The Incidence of Major Mergers in type I and II AGN Host Galaxies in the DR15 sample

Héctor Hernández-Toledo, Edgar Cortes-Suárez, Jose Antonio Vázquez-Mata +4

We present a study on the incidence of major mergers and their impact on the triggering of nuclear activity in 47 type I and 236 type II optically-selected AGN from the MaNGA DR15…

A declining major merger fraction with redshift in the local Universe from the largest-yet catalog of major and minor mergers in SDSS

R. Nevin, L. Blecha, J. Comerford +4

It is difficult to accurately identify galaxy mergers and it is an even larger challenge to classify them by their mass ratio or merger stage. In previous work we used a suite of s…

From Data to Software to Science with the Rubin Observatory LSST

Katelyn Breivik, Andrew J. Connolly, K. E. Saavik Ford +97

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) dataset will dramatically alter our understanding of the Universe, from the origins of the Solar System to the…

Preparing for low surface brightness science with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory: characterisation of tidal features from mock images

G. Martin, A. E. Bazkiaei, M. Spavone +50

Tidal features in the outskirts of galaxies yield unique information about their past interactions and are a key prediction of the hierarchical structure formation paradigm. The Ve…

The differences between mass- and light-derived structural parameters over time for MaNGA Elliptical galaxies

H. Ibarra-Medel, V. Avila-Reese, I. Lacerna +4

We apply stellar population synthesis analysis to obtain spatially-resolved archaeological inferences for a large sample of "red and dead" Elliptical galaxies (Classical Elliptical…
