Final Year Project

Project Title

Estimating Photometric Redshifts with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

Description

We have developed a new architecture which we call "PhotoNet" to estimate photometric redshifts of galaxies on large-scale surveys. The photometric part means that data comes from photometric surveys which consist of images from a telescope through different filters. We have worked with five channels ugriz data coming from SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) where ugriz means bands capture ultraviolet, green, red, infrared and brightness. We have also visualized the output from intermediate layers of our network to understand its behavior and working. The future of modern cosmology is studying large-scale structures and this model is an important contribution in astronomy that relies on future large-scale photometric surveys.
