Measuring Cosmological Parameters with Galaxy Surveys
We assess the accuracy with which future galaxy surveys can measure cosmological parameters. By breaking parameter degeneracies of the Planck Cosmic Microwave Background satellite, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey may be able to reduce the Planck error bars by about an order of magnitude on the large-scale power normalization and the reionization optical depth, down to percent levels. However, pinp...
متن کاملGalaxy Structural Parameters in Source Extractor
Over the last decade, the Concentration, Asymmetry and Smoothness (CAS), as well as the M20 and GINI parameters have become popular to automatically classify distant galaxies in images. Ellipticals, spirals and irregular galaxies all appear to occupy different regions of this parameter space. At the same time, the Source Extractor (SE) program has become the mainstay to produce object catalogs ...
متن کاملDetailed Structural Decomposition of Galaxy Images
We present a two-dimensional (2-D) fitting algorithm (GALFIT) designed to extract structural components from galaxy images, with emphasis on closely modeling light profiles of spatially well-resolved, nearby galaxies observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. Our algorithm improves on previous techniques in two areas, by being able to simultaneously fit a galaxy with an arbitrary number of compo...
متن کاملMeasuring structural complexity in brain images
An information theory based formalism for medical image analysis proposed in Young et al. [Young, K., Chen, Y., Kornak, J., Matson G. B., Schuff, N., 2005. Summarizing Complexity in High Dimensions, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 098701-1] is described and used to estimate image complexity measures as a means of generating interpretable summary information. An analysis of anatomical brain MRI data exhibit...
متن کاملMeasuring Shapes of Galaxy Images I: Ellipticity and Orientation
We suggest a set of morphological measures that we believe can help in quantifying the shapes of two-dimensional cosmological images such as galaxies, clusters, and superclusters of galaxies. The method employs non-parametric morphological descriptors known as the Minkowski functionals in combination with geometric moments widely used in the image analysis. For the purpose of visualization of t...
