    REPORTS FROM L.A. SARGSYAN AND COLLEAGUES ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE IN ASTROPHYSICS

    Science Letter
    November 3, 2009

    According to recent research from Armenia, "Optical classifications are
    provided for 18 infrared objects whose spectra have been obtained with
    the Spitzer space telescope. An attempt is made at classification in
    terms of the spectral energy distributions (SED) based on photometric
    data from the SDSS and 2MASS (11 objects, 4 of which also have SDSS
    spectra) archives. 7 of the objects are classified using the SDSS
    spectra, and other sources are used for 5 of the objects, 4 of which
    cannot even be classified using spectral or photometric data."

    "For 3 of the objects, the classifications according to photometric
    data and the SDSS spectra are the same, so it is to be hoped that
    the proposed classification can be used for classifying many objects
    when only photometric data are available. These objects have also
    been classified according to their IR spectra. The IR and optical
    classifications are mostly in agreement when they are compared,"
    wrote L.A. Sargsyan and colleagues (see also Astrophysics).

    The researchers concluded: "Morphological descriptions of the objects
    are also given."

    Sargsyan and colleagues published their study in Astrophysics
    (Optical classification of 18 infrared galaxies. Astrophysics,
    2009;52(3):377-382).
