Multi-wavelength astronomical studies brings a wealth of science within reach. One way to achieve a cross-wavelength analysis is via `stacking', i.e. combining precise positional information from an image at one wavelength with data from…

Not only source catalogs are extracted from astronomy observations. Their sky coverage is always carefully recorded and used in statistical analyses, such as correlation and luminosity function studies. Here we present a novel method for…

We investigate the quality of associations of astronomical sources from multi-wavelength observations using simulated detections that are realistic in terms of their astrometric accuracy, small-scale clustering properties and selection…

In order to study the status and the possible evolution of clusters of galaxies at intermediate redshifts (z ~ 0.1 - 0.3), as well as their spatial correlation and relationship with the local environment, we built a sample of candidate…

We report the results of optical identification of a sample of RC catalog radio sources with the FIRST and SDSS surveys. For 320 sources identified with NVSS and FIRST objects we perform optical identification with the SDSS survey. When…

We present a set of peculiar radio sources detected using an unsupervised machine learning method. We use data from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope to train a self-organizing map (SOM). The radio maps from…

Automated source extraction and parameterization represents a crucial challenge for the next-generation radio interferometer surveys, such as those performed with the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and its precursors. In this paper we present…

We present the catalogue of Radio sources associated with Optical Galaxies and having Unresolved or Extended morphologies I (ROGUE I). It was generated by cross-matching galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR 7)…

We present a new algorithm to search for distant clusters of galaxies on catalogues deriving from imaging data, as those of the ESO Imaging Survey. Our algorithm is a matched filter one, similar to that adopted by Postman et al. (1996),…

Modern radio telescope surveys, capable of detecting billions of galaxies in wide-field surveys, have made manual morphological classification impracticable. This applies in particular when the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO)…

In this paper we combine the Early Science radio continuum data from the MeerKAT International GHz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration (MIGHTEE) Survey, with optical and near-infrared data and release the cross-matched catalogues. The radio…

Recent developments in Phased Array direct positioning methods have improved accuracy for passively geo-locating multiple radio frequency-emitting signal sources. However, the number of geo-localisable signal sources is still limited by the…

We positionally match the 6 cm GB6, 20 cm FIRST and NVSS, and 92 cm WENSS radio catalogs and find 16,500 matches in ~3,000 deg2 of sky. Using this unified radio database, we construct radio "color-magnitude-morphology" diagrams and find…

The Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) large-area radio continuum survey will detect tens of millions of radio galaxies, giving an opportunity for the detection of previously unknown classes of objects. To maximise the scientific value…

In this work we address the problem of simultaneous multi-frequency detection of extragalactic point sources in maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background. We apply a new linear filtering technique, the so called `matched matrix filters', that…
