Hack the stellar populations

Hack the stellar populations

Keywords: Milky Way, stellar populations, clusters, visual analytic, infrared, source finding

Unravel the mysteries of our galaxy! Looking at a region of the Milky Way, your challenge will be to identify all the stellar sources that are grouped together into “stellar clusters” (i.e. group of stars physically bound). NEANIAS Space Services will be at your disposal to face this challenge: the ViaLactea service to retrieve the sky maps, the CAESAR service to identify the sources and the Astro Data Navigator to explore the stellar catalogues... or, if you prefer, use the Latent Space Explorer service to analyze hidden patterns in the data.

Be our space explorer!
