The Morphological Classification of Galaxies
Much of what is known about galaxies began with a simple classification of their forms as seen on direct blue-light plates. This classification continues to be useful at a time when galaxies have never been better understood. The reason for this is that morphology contains information on the dynamics and evolution of galaxies in spite of the fact that the features dominating the appearance may ...

1 I have read and understood the definition of " plagiarism " as set out in the General Assessment Handbook for Masters and Postgraduate Diploma Candidates under section 11. This dissertation is my own work, except where explicitly stated.
متن کاملUsing Oblique Decision Trees for the Morphological Classification of Galaxies
We discuss the application of a class of machine learning algorithms known as decision trees to the process of galactic classification. In particular, we explore the application of oblique decision trees induced with different impurity measures to the problem of classifying galactic morphology data provided by Storrie-Lombardi et al. (1992). Our results are compared to those obtained by a neura...
متن کاملApproaches to Automated Morphological Classification of Galaxies
There is an obvious need for automated classi cation of galaxies, as the number of observed galaxies increases very fast. We examine several approaches to this problem, utilising Arti cial Neural Networks (ANNs). We quote results from a recent study which show that ANNs can classsify galaxies morphologically as well as humans can. key-words { galaxies : classi cation data processing
متن کاملVIII. Morphological and spectral classification of galaxies
We determine the morphological types of 2295 galaxies from the ESO Nearby Abell Cluster Survey (ENACS) from CCD images obtained with the Dutch telescope on La Silla. A comparison with morphological types from the literature for 450 of our galaxies shows that the reliability of our classification is quite comparable to that of other classifiers. We recalibrate the ENACS spectral classification w...
