We perform an objective classification of 170,000 galaxy spectra in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) using the Karhunen-Lo\`eve (KL) transform. With about one-sixth of the total set of galaxy spectra which will be obtained by the survey,…
Analyses of stellar spectra often begin with the determination of a number of parameters that define a model atmosphere. This work presents a prototype for an automated spectral classification system that uses a 15 nm-wide region around…
Over the past decade, tremendous progress has been made in applying the techniques of MK classification to spectra obtained from 1-5 microns. This spectral region is rich in atomic and molecular features which are temperature and luminosity…
We investigate the integrated spectra of a sample of 24 normal galaxies. A principal component analysis suggests that most of the variance present in the spectra is due to the differences in morphology of the galaxies in the sample. We show…
Galaxy morphological and spectroscopic types should be nearly independent of apparent magnitude in a local, magnitude-limited sample. Recent luminosity function surveys based on morphological classification of galaxies are substantially…
Discussion of the designation of multiple-star components leads to a conclusion that, apart from components, we need to designate systems and centers-of-mass. The hierarchy is coded then by simple links to parent. This system is adopted in…
We proposed a machine learning approach to identify and distinguish dusty stellar sources employing supervised and unsupervised methods and categorizing point sources, mainly evolved stars, using photometric and spectroscopic data collected…
With the advent of large spectroscopic surveys, automated stellar parameter determination has become commonplace. Nevertheless, spectral classification still offers a quick and useful alternative for obtaining parameter estimates for large…
The K20 survey is a near infrared-selected, deep (Ks < 20) redshift survey targeting galaxies in two independent regions of the sky, the CDFS and the q0055-2659 field. The total Ks-selected sample includes 545 objects. Optical spectra for…
Matrix spectral factorization is traditionally described as finding spectral factors having a fixed analytic pole configuration. The classification of spectral factors then involves studying the solutions of a certain algebraic Riccati…
Due to its high spatial and spectral information content, hyperspectral imaging opens up new possibilities for a better understanding of data and scenes in a wide variety of applications. An essential part of this process of understanding…
Automated techniques have been developed to automate the process of classification of objects or their analysis. The large datasets provided by upcoming spectroscopic surveys with dedicated telescopes urges scientists to use these automated…
We have revisited and updated the $uvby$ Str\"omgren colour and colour-index distributions of A, F and early G-type main sequence stars. For this aim, we selected 7054 dwarf stars along with 65 MK standard stars within the same spectral…
The availability of high-quality spectra for a large number of galaxies in the SDSS survey allows for a more sophisticated extraction of information about their stellar populations than, e.g., the luminosity weighted age. Indeed,…
The Infrared Space Observatory observed over 900 objects with the Short Wavelength Spectrometer in full-grating-scan mode (2.4-45.2 micron). We have developed a comprehensive system of spectral classification using these data. Sources are…
We report for the first time the stellar atmospheric parameters for a a set of post-AGB stars classified by Suarez et al. (2006). The stellar spectra were taken from optical region, with low-resolution and have different spectral ranges. We…
The data archives from space and ground-based telescopes present a vast opportunity for the astronomical community. We describe a classification encoding system for stellar spectra designed for archival databases that organizes the spectral…
Although rare, massive stars, being the main sources of ionizing radiation, chemical enrichment and mechanical energy in the Galaxy, are the most important objects of the stellar population. This review presents the many different aspects…
This is a survey about spectral sets, to appear in the second edition of Handbook of Linear Algebra (L. Hogben, ed.). Spectral sets and K-spectral sets, introduced by John von Neumann, offer a possibility to estimate the norm of functions…
With the availability of multi-object spectrometers and the designing \& running of some large scale sky surveys, we are obtaining massive spectra. Therefore, it becomes more and more important to deal with the massive spectral data…
