Next: Methods for Structuring and Searching Very Large Catalogs . ... We have explored two automated classification methods: supervised classification using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and unsupervised classification using Self Organized Maps (SOM). These methods are used to classify IUE low-dispersion spectra of normal stars with spectral types ranging from O3 to G5. This paper describes the application of automated methods to the problem of the classification of stellar spectra. ...

We fit the near-infrared to radio spectral energy distributions of 30 luminous and ultra-luminous infrared galaxies with pure starburst models or models that include both starburst and AGN components to determine important physical parameters for this population of objects. In particular we constrain the optical depth towards the luminosity source, the star formation rate, the star formation efficiency and the AGN fraction. ...
