We use the angular Two Point Correlation Function (TPCF) to investigate the hierarchical distribution of young star clusters in 12 local (3--18 Mpc) star-forming galaxies using star cluster catalogues obtained with the \textit{Hubble Space Telescope} (\textit{HST}) as part of the Treasury Program LEGUS (Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey). The sample spans a range of different morphological types, allowing us to infer how the physical properties of the galaxy affect the spatial distribution of the clusters. We also prepare a range of physically motivated toy models to compare with and interpret the observed features in the TPCFs. We find that, conforming to earlier studies, young clusters ($T \la 10\, \mathrm{Myr}$) have power-law TPCFs that are characteristic of fractal distributions with a fractal dimension $D_2$, and this scale-free nature extends out to a maximum scale $l_{\mathrm{corr}}$ beyond which the distribution becomes Poissonian. However, $l_{\mathrm{corr}}$, and $D_2$ vary significantly across the sample, and are correlated with a number of host galaxy physical properties, suggesting that there are physical differences in the underlying star cluster distributions. We also find that hierarchical structuring weakens with age, evidenced by flatter TPCFs for older clusters ($T \ga 10\, \mathrm{Myr}$), that eventually converges to the residual correlation expected from a completely random large-scale radial distribution of clusters in the galaxy in $\sim 100 \, \mathrm{Myr}$. Our study demonstrates that the hierarchical distribution of star clusters evolves with age, and is strongly dependent on the properties of the host galaxy environment.
Predicting conditional probability distributions of redshifts of Active Galactic Nuclei using Hierarchical Correlation Reconstruction

虽然一般关注于值的预测,但真实数据通常仅允许预测条件概率分布,其能力受条件熵$H(Y|X)$的限制。如果另外估计不确定性,我们可以将预测值视为拉普拉斯分布的高斯中心-理想化,其可以远离真实数据的复杂条件分布。本文应用分层相关重构(HCR)方法来廉价地预测相当复杂的条件概率分布(例如多峰):通过多个矩参数的独立MSE估计,这允许重构条件分布。为此目的使用线性回归,我们得到可解释的模型:用系数描述特征对条件矩的贡献。本文在原有方法的基础上进行了扩展,特别是采用典型相关分析(CCA)进行特征优化和l1“lasso”正则化,重点研究了基于Fourth Fermi-LAT Data Release 2(4LAC)数据集的活动星系核(AGN)红移预测的实际问题。

Hierarchical Star Formation: Stars and Stellar Clusters in the Gould Belt
我们执行的空间和运动学分布的年轻的疏散星团在太阳附近的研究,辨别我们的样本内的绑定集群和瞬态恒星凝聚。然后,我们区分古尔德带(GB)和本地银河系盘(LGD)的成员,使用以前的估计从样本的O-B6依巴谷星获得的两个系统的结构参数。利用这一分类样本,我们分析了GB中集群系统的空间结构和运动学行为。这两个恒星形成区占据主导地位,并使GB具有其特征性的倾斜形状,它们的星团含量显示出显着的差异:虽然Ori OB 1由疏散星团组成,但在Sco OB 2的边界内没有一个星团。这反映在速度空间中,再次转化为运动空间区域中由Ori OB 1成员填充的大量集群,以及与Sco OB 2相关的边缘数量。根据这些结果,我们研究了银河系相对于猎户臂光学段的性质,我们提出,星团的不同内容,在银河平面上的不同高度和不同的剩余速度的Ori OB 1和Sco OB 2可以解释在它们的相对位置的最大密度的本地臂在太阳附近。虽然在形态上很有趣,但GB似乎是我们对局部臂中更大的星团复合体的局部和偏见的结果,这可以用银河系盘的内部动力学来解释。

最近有很多工作致力于探索质量-金属丰度关系中的次级相关性,并证明了对恒星形成率和HI含量的显著依赖性。以前,分子气体数据的缺乏(结合样品选择的偏见)阻碍了任何这样的关系与分子气体含量的调查。在这项工作中,我们收集了来自红移范围0 < z < 2的各种调查的221个星系的样本,以探索分子气体含量和金属丰度之间的联系。我们探讨了气体质量的质量-金属丰度关系的影响,发现从关系的偏移量是负相关的分子和总气体质量。然后,我们采用了主成分分析技术,探索二次依赖的质量金属丰度关系,发现与气体质量的二次依赖性显着强于恒星形成率,因此,潜在的“基本金属丰度关系”是恒星质量,金属丰度和气体质量之间。特别地,金属丰度对SFR的依赖性仅仅是对分子气体含量的依赖性的副产品,通过施密特-肯尼库特关系。最后,我们注意到,我们的主成分分析发现,基本上没有气相金属丰度和恒星形成的效率之间的联系。
