Photometric Redshift Estimation of Quasars by a Cross-modal Contrast Learning Method

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Estimating photometric redshifts (photo- z ) of quasars is crucial for measuring cosmic distances and monitoring cosmic evolution. While numerous point estimation methods have successfully determined photo- z , they often struggle with the inherently ill-

SDSS-RASS: Next Generation of Cluster-Finding Algorithms

open access: yes, 2001
We outline here the next generation of cluster-finding algorithms. We show how advances in Computer Science and Statistics have helped develop robust, fast algorithms for finding clusters of galaxies in large multi-dimensional astronomical databases like

A Geometric Approach to Estimate Background in Astronomical Images

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Estimating the true background in an astronomical image is fundamental to detecting faint sources. In a typical low-photon-count astronomical image, such as in the far- and near-ultraviolet wavelength ranges, conventional methods relying on 3 σ clipping ...

Disentangling Multiple Emitting Components in Molecular Observations with Nonnegative Matrix Factorization

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Molecular emission from the galactic and extragalactic interstellar medium (ISM) is often used to determine the physical conditions of the dense gas. However, even from spatially resolved regions, the observed molecules do not necessarily arise from a ...

Pluto’s Surface Mapping Using Unsupervised Learning from Near-infrared Observations of LEISA/Ralph

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
We map the surface of Pluto using an unsupervised machine-learning technique using the near-infrared observations of the LEISA/Ralph instrument on board NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft.

Regression for Astronomical Data with Realistic Distributions, Errors, and Nonlinearity

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We have developed a new regression technique, the maximum likelihood (ML)–based method and its variant, the Kolmogorov–Smirnov (KS) test–based method, designed to obtain unbiased regression results from typical astronomical data. A normalizing flow model
