Morphologies for DECaLS Galaxies through a combination of non-parametric indices and machine learning methods: A comprehensive catalog using the Galaxy Morphology Extractor (galmex) code
V. M. Sampaio, Y. Jaffé, C. Lima-Dias +5
Galaxy morphology encodes key information about formation and evolution. Large imaging surveys require automated, reproducible methods beyond visual inspection. Non--parametric ind…
