We analyse synthetic galaxy spectra from the evolutionary models of Bruzual&Charlot and Fioc&Rocca-Volmerange using the method of Principal Component Analysis (PCA). We explore synthetic spectra with...
Variance and Skewness in the FIRST survey (1998)
Magliocchetti, M., Maddox, S. J., Lahav, O., Wall, J. V.
We investigate the large-scale clustering of radio sources in the FIRST 1.4-GHz survey by analysing the distribution function (counts in cells). We select a reliable sample from the the FIRST...
Galaxies Discovered Behind the Milky Way by the Dwingeloo Obscured Galaxies Survey (1997)
Henning, P. A., Kraan-Korteweg, R. C., Rivers, A. J., Loan, A. J., Lahav, O., Burton, W. B.
Our Galaxy blocks a significant portion of the extragalactic sky from view, hampering studies of large-scale structure. This produces an incomplete knowledge of the distribution of galaxies, and,...
The correlation function of radio sources (1996)
Loan, A. J., Wall, J. V., Lahav, O.
We investigate the large-scale clustering of radio sources in the Green Bank and Parkes-MIT-NRAO 4.85 GHz surveys by measuring the angular two-point correlation function w(\theta). Excluding...
An Artificial Neural Network Approach to Classification of Galaxy Spectra (1996)
Folkes, S. R., Lahav, O., Maddox, S. J.
We present a method for automated classification of galaxies with low signal-to-noise (S/N) spectra typical of redshift surveys. We develop spectral simulations based on the parameters for the 2dF...
What is a Peculiar Galaxy ? (1996)
Following the recent surge of interest in peculiar galaxies at high redshifts we consider the definition, or lack thereof, of morphological peculiarities on a sample of local universe galaxies....
Hermit Astronomical, S. Hermit, B. X. Santiago, O. Lahav, M. A. Strauss, M. Davis, ...
Introduction It is an important goal of astronomy to understand the formation of galaxies and large scale structure. One of the ways to constrain these models is by quantifying the clustering of the...
Faint Blue Galaxies as a Probe of the X-ray Background at High Redshift (1995)
We present a formalism describing the physical content of cross-correlation functions between a diffuse background and a population of discrete sources. The formalism is used to interpret...
Neural computation as a tool for galaxy classification : methods and examples (1995)
Lahav, O., Naim, A., Sodre, L., Storrie-Lombardi, M. C.
We apply and compare various Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and other algorithms for automatic morphological classification of galaxies. The ANNs are presented here mathematically, as non-linear...
Hau, G. K. T., Ferguson, H. C., Lahav, O., Lynden-Bell, D.
We have visually examined twelve Palomar red Plates for galaxies at low Galactic latitude b, where the Supergalactic Plane (SGP) is crossed by the Galactic Plane (GP), at Galactic longitude l ~135...
Naim, A., Lahav, O., Sodre Jr., L., Storrie-Lombardi, M. C.
We train Artificial Neural Networks to classify galaxies based solely on the morphology of the galaxy images as they appear on blue survey plates. The images are reduced and morphological features...
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MORPHOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATIONS OF APM GALAXIES (1995)
Naim, A., Lahav, O., Buta, R. J., Corwin Jr., H. G., De Vaucouleurs, G., Dressler, A., ...
We investigate the consistency of visual morphological classifications of galaxies by comparing classifications for 831 galaxies from six independent observers. The galaxies were classified on laser...
Galaxies, Human Eyes and Artificial Neural Networks (1994)
Lahav, O., Naim, A., Buta, R. J., Corwin, H. G., De Vaucouleurs, G., Dressler, A., ...
Quantitative morphological classification of galaxies is important for understanding the origin of type frequency and correlations with environment. But galaxy morphological classification is still...
Nearby Galaxies and the Ginga X-ray Background (1994)
Carrera, F. J., Barcons, X., Butcher, J. A., Fabian, A. C., Lahav, O., Stewart, G. C., ...
We present here the results of cross-correlating the X-ray background measured by Ginga in the 2-10 keV band with several catalogues of extragalactic objects. Positive signals with an amplitude of a...
Wiener Reconstruction of The Large Scale Structure (1994)
Zaroubi, S., Hoffman, Y., Fisher, K. B., Lahav, O.
The formalism of Wiener filtering is developed here for the purpose of reconstructing the large scale structure of the universe from noisy, sparse and incomplete data. The method is based on a linear...
The Optical Redshift Survey: Sample Selection and the Galaxy Distribution (1994)
Santiago, B. X., Strauss, M. A., Lahav, O., Davis, M., Dressler, A., Huchra, J.
This is the first in a series of papers describing the {\it Optical Redshift Survey} (ORS), a redshift survey of optically selected galaxies covering 98\% of the sky above $|b| = 20^\circ$ (8.09...
Wiener Reconstruction of Galaxy Surveys in Spherical Harmonics (1993)
Lahav, O., Fisher, K. B., Hoffman, Y., Scharf, C. A., Zaroubi, S.
The analysis of whole-sky galaxy surveys commonly suffers from the problems of shot-noise and incomplete sky coverage (e.g. at the Zone of Avoidance). The orthogonal set of spherical harmonics is...
Morgan, B.E, Lahav, O., Loewenthal, R.E.
An ambient temperature ferrite process has been developed for the removal of iron and non-ferrous metals from AMD waters. The process involves the controlled formation of magnetite (Fe3O4) that has...
Measurement of pH, alkalinity and acidity in ultra-soft waters (1970)
Conventional characterisation of low alkalinity waters via pH measurement and titration of total alkalinity to a prescribed end-point invariably leads to large errors. These errors result from...
