Computer Science approach to the stellar fabric of violent starforming regions in AGN

چکیده
In order to analyse the large numbers of Seyfert galaxy spectra available at present, we are testing new techniques to derive their physical parameters fastly and accurately. We present an experiment on such a new technique to segregate old and young stellar populations in galactic spectra using machine learning methods. We used an ensemble of classifiers, each classifier in the ensemble specializes in young or old populations and was trained with locally weighted regression and tested using ten-fold cross-validation. Since the relevant information concentrates in certain regions of the spectra we used the method of sequential floating backward selection offline for feature selection. Very interestingly, the application to Seyfert galaxies proved that this technique is very insensitive to the dilution by the Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) continuum. Comparing with exhaustive search we concluded that both methods are similar in terms of accuracy but the machine learning method is faster by about two orders of magnitude.

Energetic processes and nonthermal emission of starforming complexes
We discuss models of energetic particle acceleration, interactions and nonthermal emission in active starforming regions at different stages of their evolution. Powerful stellar winds and supernova explosions with intense energy release in the form of strong shock waves can convert a sizeable part of the kinetic energy release into energetic particles. The starforming regions are argued as a fa...
متن کاملStellar Populations in the Central Galaxies of Fossil Groups
It is inferred from the symmetrical and luminous X-ray emission of fossil groups that they are mature, relaxed galaxy systems. Cosmological simulations and observations focusing on their dark halo and inter-galactic medium properties confirm their early formation. Recent photometric observations suggest that, unlike the majority of non-fossil brightest group galaxies (BGGs), the central early-t...
متن کاملTheoretical Mid-Infrared Modeling of Starburst Galaxies
We investigated the ability of the stellar models Starburst99 and MappingsIII to model starburst galaxies using infrared diagnostics and Spitzer data. The infrared diagnostics were useful for distinguishing between starforming galaxies and AGN. The theoretical starburst models indicate that the infrared emission-line ratios are largely degenerate and are extremely sensitive to the age of the st...
متن کاملChanges in Cognitive Functions Following Violent and Football Video Games in Young Male Volunteers by Studying Brain Waves
Introduction: This research investigated the effects of violent and football video games on cognitive functions, cortisol levels, and brain waves. Methods: A total of 64 participants competed in a single-elimination tournament. Saliva samples of all players were obtained before and after the games for the assessment of cortisol levels. The cognitive performances of the players were also assess...
متن کاملS-APPROXIMATION SPACES: A FUZZY APPROACH
In this paper, we study the concept of S-approximation spaces in fuzzy set theory and investigate its properties. Along introducing three pairs of lower and upper approximation operators for fuzzy S-approximation spaces, their properties under different assumptions, e.g. monotonicity and weak complement compatibility are studied. By employing two thresholds for minimum acceptance accuracy and m...
