Galaxy cluster classification with convolutional neural networks
During my time at ESA, I mentored a Master’s student, Matej Kosiba from Masaryk University, and we recently published a paper together on using convolutional neural networks to detect clusters of galaxies (https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.05998). You see, the detection of galaxy clusters is extremely out-dated. Typically a wavelet filtering algorithm is applied on X-ray images to pull…
