The morphologies of wide-angle tailed (WAT) radio sources (edge-darkened, C-shaped, FR I radio sources) are the result of confinement and distortion of the radio lobes by the dense X-ray-emitting gas in clusters or groups of galaxies. These…

We present a deep learning approach to classify fast radio bursts (FRBs) based purely on morphology as encoded on recorded dynamic spectrum from CHIME/FRB Catalog 2. We implemented transfer learning with a pretrained ConvNext architecture,…

We explore the use of different radio galaxy populations as tracers of different mass halos and therefore, with different bias properties, to constrain primordial non-Gaussianity of the local type. We perform a Fisher matrix analysis based…

The morphological diversity of galaxies is a relevant probe of galaxy evolution and cosmological structure formation. However, in large sky surveys, even the morphological classification of galaxies into two classes, like late-type (LT) and…

We present a novel multimodal dataset developed by expert astronomers to automate the detection and localisation of multi-component extended radio galaxies and their corresponding infrared hosts. The dataset comprises 4,155 instances of…
