Next generations of radio surveys are expected to identify tens of millions of new sources, and identifying and classifying their morphologies will require novel and more efficient methods. Self-Organising Maps (SOMs), a type of unsupervised machine... Read More about A catalogue of complex radio sources in the Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey created using a Self-Organising Map.

The effect of minor and major mergers on the evolution of low excitation radio galaxies (2019)
Journal Article
Gordon, Y. A., Pimbblet, K. A., Kaviraj, S., Owers, M. S., O'Dea, C. P., Walmsley, M., Baum, S. A., Crossett, J. P., Fraser-Mckelvie, A., Lintott, C. J., & Pierce, J. C. (2019). The effect of minor and major mergers on the evolution of low excitation radio galaxies. The Astrophysical journal, 878(2), Article 88. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ab203f

We use deep, μ r lesssim 28 mag arcsec−2, r-band imaging from the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey to search for past, or ongoing, merger activity in a sample of 282 low-excitation radio galaxies (LERGs) at z < 0.07. Our principal aim is to assess t... Read More about The effect of minor and major mergers on the evolution of low excitation radio galaxies.
