Object classification with Convolutional Neural Networks: from KiDS to Euclid
G. A. Verdoes Kleijn, C. A. Marocico, Y. Mzayek +11
Large-scale imaging surveys have grown about 1000 times faster than the number of astronomers in the last 3 decades. Using Artificial Intelligence instead of astronomer's brains fo…
Mining the Kilo-Degree Survey for solar system objects
M. Mahlke, H. Bouy, B. Altieri +7
The search for minor bodies in the solar system promises insights into its formation history. Wide imaging surveys offer the opportunity to serendipitously discover and identify th…
KiDS-i-800: Comparing weak gravitational lensing measurements in same-sky surveys
A. Amon, C. Heymans, D. Klaes +21
We present a weak gravitational lensing analysis of 815 square degree of -band imaging from the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS--800). In contrast to the deep -band observations,…
The SAMI Galaxy Survey: The cluster redshift survey, target selection and cluster properties
M. S. Owers, J. T. Allen, I. Baldry +40
We describe the selection of galaxies targeted in eight low redshift clusters (APMCC0917, A168, A4038, EDCC442, A3880, A2399, A119 and A85; ) as part of the Sydn…
First discoveries of z~6 quasars with the Kilo Degree Survey and VISTA Kilo-Degree Infrared Galaxy survey
B. P. Venemans, G. A. Verdoes Kleijn, J. Mwebaze +12
We present the results of our first year of quasar search in the on-going ESO public Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) and VISTA Kilo-Degree Infrared Galaxy (VIKING) surveys. These surveys…
A skewer survey of the Galactic halo from deep CFHT and INT images
B. Pila-Díez, J. T. A. de Jong, K. Kuijken +2
We study the density profile and shape of the Galactic halo using deep multicolour images from the MENeaCS and CCCP projects, over 33 fields selected to avoid overlap with the Gala…
Finding halo streams with a pencil-beam survey: new wraps in the Sagittarius stream
B. Pila-Díez, K. Kuijken, J. T. A. de Jong +2
We use data from two CFHT-MegaCam photometric pencil-beam surveys in the g' and the r' bands to measure distances to the Sagittarius, the Palomar 5 and the Orphan stream. We show t…
Fast Molecular Outflows in Luminous Galaxy Mergers: Evidence for Quasar Feedback from Herschel
S. Veilleux, M. Melendez, E. Sturm +18
We report the results from a systematic search for molecular (OH-119 um) outflows with Herschel-PACS in a sample of 43 nearby (z < 0.3) galaxy mergers, mostly ultraluminous infrare…
Discovery of the magnetic field in the pulsating B star beta Cephei
H. F. Henrichs, J. A. de Jong, E. Verdugo +17
Although the star itself is not He enriched, the periodicity and the variability in the UV wind lines of the pulsating B1 IV star beta Cep are similar to what is observed in magnet…
Herschel-PACS Observations of Far-IR CO Line Emission in NGC 1068: Highly Excited Molecular Gas in the Circumnuclear Disk
S. Hailey-Dunsheath, E. Sturm, J. Fischer +13
We report the detection of far-IR CO rotational emission from the prototypical Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068. Using Herschel-PACS, we have detected 11 transitions in the J_upper=14-30…
Far-Infrared Line Deficits in Galaxies with Extreme Lfir/MH2 Ratios
J. Graciá-Carpio, E. Sturm, S. Hailey-Dunsheath +13
We report initial results from the far-infrared fine structure line observations of a sample of 44 local starbursts, Seyfert galaxies and infrared luminous galaxies obtained with t…
