Deep learning predictions of galaxy merger stage and the importance of observational realism
Connor Bottrell, Maan H. Hani, Hossen Teimoorinia +7
Machine learning is becoming a popular tool to quantify galaxy morphologies and identify mergers. However, this technique relies on using an appropriate set of training data to be…
Rapid early coeval star formation and assembly of the most massive galaxies in the universe
Douglas Rennehan, Arif Babul, Christopher C. Hayward +3
The current consensus on the formation and evolution of the brightest cluster galaxies is that their stellar mass forms early () in separate galaxies that then eventua…
A definitive merger-AGN connection at z~0 with CFIS: mergers have an excess of AGN and AGN hosts are more frequently disturbed
Sara L. Ellison, Akshara Viswanathan, David R. Patton +4
The question of whether galaxy mergers are linked to the triggering of active galactic nuclei (AGN) continues to be a topic of considerable debate. The issue can be broken down int…
Bulge plus disc and Sérsic decomposition catalogues for 16,908 galaxies in the SDSS Stripe 82 co-adds: A detailed study of the structural measurements
Connor Bottrell, Luc Simard, J. Trevor Mendel +1
Quantitative characterization of galaxy morphology is vital in enabling comparison of observations to predictions from galaxy formation theory. However, without significant overlap…
The Hubble Sequence at in the IllustrisTNG simulation with deep learning
M. Huertas-Company, V. Rodriguez-Gomez, D. Nelson +7
We analyze the optical morphologies of galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulation at with a Convolutional Neural Network trained on visual morphologies in the Sloan Digital S…
What shapes a galaxy? - Unraveling the role of mass, environment and star formation in forming galactic structure
Asa F. L. Bluck, Connor Bottrell, Hossen Teimoorinia +9
We investigate the dependence of galaxy structure on a variety of galactic and environmental parameters for ~500,000 galaxies at z<0.2, taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data…
