Morpheus, God of Dreams and Morphological Galaxy Classification
Morpheus has been reborn as a new deep learning network to classify images of galaxies based on their shape, pixel by pixel.
Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Professor Alice Shapley
Come ask questions at Dr. Alice Shapley’s #AAS234 talk to learn about interesting events that happened a long time ago, to galaxies far, far away!
Traits of Accreting Galaxies
Observations from the MaNGA survey help to answer the question: What are the features of a galaxy that appears to have undergone recent gas accretion?
The Properties of Simulated Jellyfish
Astronomers use cosmological simulations to better understand a funny sort of satellite galaxy.
How to Diagnose the Light from Early Galaxies
Understanding the physics of a certain emission line will allow astronomers to study galaxies that existed a long time ago far, far away.
How the Milky Way Got its Spiral Arms
The spiral arms of galaxies are among the most recognizable galactic features, yet we still know little about their precise formation mechanism. Today’s paper leverages new data from the Gaia mission to test some of the leading theories.
