... ClassX is a project aimed at creating an automated system to classify X-ray sources and is envisaged as a prototype of the Virtual Observatory. ... The most fundamental are: (a) classification methods and algorithms, (b) selection and definition of classes (object types), and (c) identification of source counterparts across multi-wavelength data. ... Using different sets of training parameters (attributes), we get different classifiers for the same list of class names (e.g., Figure 1). ...

Describes how spatial region boundaries are handled. The golden rule for spatial region filtering was first enunciated by Leon VanSpeybroeck in 1986: . ... With this in mind, the rules for determining whether a boundary image pixel or table row are assigned to a region are defined below. For image filtering, pixels whose center is inside the boundary are included. ... That is, an row is inside the boundary without regard to its integerized pixel value. ...

As conditional or control statements you have IF in many variants (but essentially not changed from Fortran 77), DO (with some new variants) and the completely new statement CASE . The DO- loop should now be ended with the statement END DO and we no longer need any statement number. In addition, we can use the statement EXIT to jump out of the DO -loop and CYCLE in order to go to the next iteration of the present DO -loop. ... all negative numbers WRITE (*,*) 'Negative number' CASE (0) ! ...

. The image is a composite of separate exposures made by the WFC3 instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. Three filters were used to sample broad wavelength ranges in the near infrared. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: F105W (Y) blue; F125W (J) green; F160W (H) red. NASA/ESA/G. Illingworth/R.
