astromorph: Self-supervised machine learning pipeline for astronomical morphology analysis

Per Bjerkeli, Jouni Kainulainen, Maria Carmen Toribio +2

Modern telescopes generate increasingly large and diverse datasets, often consisting of complex and morphologically rich structures. To efficiently explore such data requires autom…

Dust extinction map of the Galactic plane based on the UKIDSS survey data

Miaomiao Zhang, Jouni Kainulainen, He Zhao +5

Dust plays a critical role in the study of the interstellar medium (ISM). Extinction maps derived from optical surveys often fail to capture regions with high column density due to…

Dust extinction map of the Galactic plane based on the VVV survey data

Miaomiao Zhang, Jouni Kainulainen

Dust extinction is one of the most reliable tracers of the gas distribution in the Milky Way. The near-infrared (NIR) Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey enables extinct…

The effect of viewing angle on the Kennicutt-Schmidt relation of the local molecular clouds

Jouni Kainulainen, Sara Rezaei Kh., Andri Spilker +1

The Gaia data give us an unprecedented view to the 3-dimensional (3D) structure of molecular clouds in the Solar neighbourhood. We study how the projected areas and masses of cloud…

Bird's eye view of molecular clouds in the Milky Way: I. Column density and star formation from sub-pc to kpc scales

Andri Spilker, Jouni Kainulainen, Jan Orkisz

Describing how the properties of the interstellar medium combine across size-scales is crucial for understanding star formation scaling laws and connecting Galactic and extragalact…

The SEDIGISM survey: first data release and overview of the Galactic structure

F. Schuller, J. S. Urquhart, T. Csengeri +57

The SEDIGISM (Structure, Excitation and Dynamics of the Inner Galactic Interstellar Medium) survey used the APEX telescope to map 84 deg^2 of the Galactic plane between l = -60 deg…
