VizieR Online Data Catalog: SDSS peculiar galaxy pairs list (Shamir+, 2014)
Abstract
Autonomous digital sky surveys have been generating vast pipelines of astronomical images, leading to big astronomical data bases. This form of astronomical data collection cannot rely solely on manual analysis, and requires algorithms and computer methods that can process these data and transform them into smaller and well-defined data sets that can be effectively used by humans.
Here, we show how an automatic method can mine through a large data set of ~3.7x106 galaxy images and reduce them to a list of 500 images, containing many peculiar galaxy mergers. (2 data files).- Publication:
