Population studies of the extragalactic objects are a major part of the universe large-scale structure study. Apart from radio, infrared, and visible wavelength bands, observations and further identification of extragalactic objects such as…
Rather than giving a complete overview on extragalactic Zone of Avoidance research, this paper will highlight some recent discoveries in the ZOA, such as new NIR to FIR observations (IRSF, Spitzer) of the most massive disk galaxy found…
X-ray surveys contain sizable numbers of star forming galaxies, beyond the AGN which usually make the majority of detections. Many methods to separate the two populations are used in the literature, based on X-ray and multiwavelength…
In recent years, automated, supervised classification techniques have been fruitfully applied to labeling and organizing large astronomical databases. These methods require off-line classifier training, based on labeled examples from each…
The morphology of a galaxy has been shown to encode the evolutionary history and correlates strongly with physical properties such as stellar mass, star formation rates and past merger events. While the majority of galaxies in the local…
We present new fully-automatic classification model to select extragalactic objects within astronomy photometric catalogs. Construction of the our classification model is based on the three important procedures: 1) data representation to…
We present a machine learning search for local, low-mass galaxies ($z < 0.02$ and $10^6 M_\odot < M_* < 10^9 M_\odot$) using the combined photometric data from the DESI Imaging Legacy Surveys and the WISE survey. We introduce the spectrally…
We successfully demonstrate the use of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques on astronomical datasets in the context of measuring galactic bar lengths. The method consists of training convolutional neural networks on human…
The two currently largest all-sky photometric datasets, WISE and SuperCOSMOS, were cross-matched by Bilicki et al. (2016) (B16) to construct a novel photometric redshift catalogue on 70% of the sky. Galaxies were therein separated from…
Making mock simulated catalogs is an important component of astrophysical data analysis. Selection criteria for observed astronomical objects are often too complicated to be derived from first principles. However the existence of an…
We present several machine learning (ML) models developed to efficiently separate stars formed in-situ in Milky Way-type galaxies from those that were formed externally and later accreted. These models, which include examples from…
A deep optical galaxy search in the southern Milky Way - aimed at reducing the width of the Zone of Avoidance - revealed 3279 galaxy candidates above the diameter limit of D > 0.2 arcmin, of which only 112 (3.4%) were previously catalogued.…
The automatic classification of X-ray detections is a necessary step in extracting astrophysical information from compiled catalogs of astrophysical sources. Classification is useful for the study of individual objects, statistics for…
The environment plays a critical role in galaxy evolution, with galaxy clusters and their infall regions offering diverse conditions that shape galaxies before they enter the dense cluster core, a process known as ``pre-processing''.…
Rare extragalactic objects can carry substantial information about the past, present, and future universe. Given the size of astronomical databases in the information era it can be assumed that very many outlier galaxies are included in…
Understanding how galaxies trace the underlying matter density field is essential for characterizing the influence of the large-scale structure on galaxy formation, being therefore a key ingredient in observational cosmology. This…
Mass loss is a key aspect of stellar evolution, particularly in evolved massive stars, yet episodic mass loss remains poorly understood. To investigate this, we need evolved massive stellar populations across various galactic environments.…
Identifying AGNs in dwarf galaxies is critical for understanding black hole formation but remains challenging due to their low luminosities, low metallicities, and star formation-driven emission that can obscure AGN signatures. Machine…
We report the discovery of twenty-five previously unknown galaxies in the Zone of Avoidance. Our systematic search for extended extra-galactic sources in the GLIMPSE and MIPSGAL mid-infrared surveys of the Galactic plane has revealed two…
As available data sets grow in size and complexity, advanced visualization tools enabling their exploration and analysis become more important. In modern astronomy, integral field spectroscopic galaxy surveys are a clear example of…
