Distinguishing active galaxies from star-forming galaxies is essential for understanding galaxy evolution. Diagnostic methods like the BPT (Baldwin, Phillips, and Terlevich) diagram use optical emission-line ratios to separate galaxies.…
Galaxies can be described by features of their optical spectra such as oxygen emission lines, or morphological features such as spiral arms. Although spectroscopy provides a rich description of the physical processes that govern galaxy…
Simulated galaxy distributions are suitable for developing filament detection algorithms. However, samples of observed galaxies, being of limited size, cause difficulties that lead to a discontinuous distribution of filaments. We created a…
We developed and applied a computer analysis method to detect ring galaxy candidates in the first data release of PanSTARRS. The method works by applying a low-pass filter, followed by dynamic global thresholding to search for closed…
