Prototype selection for parameter estimation in complex models

, 2012
Parameter estimation in astrophysics often requires the use of complex physical models. In this paper we study the problem of estimating the parameters that describe star formation history (SFH) in galaxies.

Distributions of Wide Binary Stars in Theory and in Gaia Data. II. Reconstruction of Sample Probability Density of True Orbit Sizes

The Astronomical Journal
Wide binary stars are important for testing alternative models of gravitation in the weak-field regime and understanding the statistical outcomes of dynamical interactions in the general Galactic field. The Gaia mission’s collection of weakly bound pairs

Using R-based VOStat as a Low-Resolution Spectrum Analysis Tool [PDF]

We describe here an online software suite VOStat written mainly for the Virtual Observatory, a novel structure in which astronomers share terabyte scale data. Written mostly in the public-domain statistical computing language and environment R, it can do

USmorph: An Updated Framework of Automatic Classification of Galaxy Morphologies and Its Application to Galaxies in the COSMOS Field

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Morphological classification conveys abundant information on the formation, evolution, and environment of galaxies. In this work, we refine a two-step galaxy morphological classification framework ( USmorph ), which employs a combination of unsupervised ...

Dual-coding Contrastive Learning Based on the ConvNeXt and ViT Models for Morphological Classification of Galaxies in COSMOS-Web

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
In our previous works, we proposed a machine learning framework named USmorph for efficiently classifying galaxy morphology. In this study, we propose a self-supervised method called contrastive learning to upgrade the unsupervised machine learning (UML)

A Parameter-masked Mock Data Challenge for Beyond-two-point Galaxy Clustering Statistics

The Astrophysical Journal
The past few years have seen the emergence of a wide array of novel techniques for analyzing high-precision data from upcoming galaxy surveys, which aim to extend the statistical analysis of galaxy clustering data beyond the linear regime and the ...

CatNorth: An Improved Gaia DR3 Quasar Candidate Catalog with Pan-STARRS1 and CatWISE

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
A complete and pure sample of quasars with accurate redshifts is crucial for quasar studies and cosmology. In this paper, we present CatNorth, an improved Gaia Data Release 3 (Gaia DR3) quasar candidate catalog with more than 1.5 million sources in the 3
