Low-surface-brightness galaxy cand. from SDSS DR16

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Low-surface-brightness galaxies (LSBGs), fainter members of the galaxy population, are thought to be numerous.

Description

However, due to their low surface brightness, the search for a wide-area sample of LSBGs is difficult, which in turn limits our ability to fully understand the formation and evolution of galaxies as well as galaxy relationships. Edge-on LSBGs, due to their unique orientation, offer an excellent opportunity to study galaxy structure and galaxy components.

In this work, we utilize the You Only Look Once (YOLO) object detection algorithm to construct an edge-on LSBG detection model by training on 281 edge-on LSBGs in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) gri-band composite images. This model achieved a recall of 94.64% and a purity of 95.38% on the test set. We searched across 938,046 gri-band images from SDSS Data Release 16 and found 52,293 candidate LSBGs.

To enhance the purity of the candidate LSBGs and reduce contamination, we employed the Deep Support Vector Data Description algorithm to identify anomalies within the candidate samples. Ultimately, we compiled a catalog containing 40,759 edge-on LSBG candidates. This sample has similar characteristics to the training data set, mainly composed of blue edge-on LSBG candidates.
