Performance of morphological classifiers for galaxy mergers compared to current machine learning methods

Aidan P. Cotter, William J. Pearson, William J. pearson +4

Aims. Non-parametric morphological statistics can be used for efficient classification of galaxy mergers. This work aims to compare the performance of morphological merger classifi…

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…

Morphological signatures of mergers in the TNG50 simulation and the Kilo-Degree Survey: the merger fraction from dwarfs to Milky Way-like galaxies

Alejandro Guzmán-Ortega, Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez, Gregory F. Snyder +2

Using the TNG50 cosmological simulation and observations from the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS), we investigate the connection between galaxy mergers and optical morphology in the loca…
