[A late-type star spectra outlier data mining system]
Abstract:
In M star population, some special objects, which may be of magnetic activity, may be giant stars, or may be of other rare properties, are very important for the follow-up observation and the scientific research on galactic structure and evolution. For local bias of M-type star spectral characteristic lines contained in subspace, a late-type star spectra outlier data mining system is given in the present paper. Firstly, for the sample of M stellar spectral characteristic lines indices, its distribution characteristics in attribute spaces are measured by using the sparse factor and sparsity coefficient, and then this sample is discretized and dimension-reduced to the spectral subspace. Secondly, local outlier subspaces are extracted by PSO (particle swarm optimization) algorithm and identified. Additionally, the effects of sparse coefficient and sparse factor on the number of outliers are discussed by experiments on the sample of SDSS M stellar spectral line index set, and the outliers are compared with spectral type provided by SDSS. In this way, the feasibility and value of this system were validated.

Modified Boxplots
However, the box plot does not tell the reader about outliers - values that lie far from the center of the data. We can modify the standard box and whisker plot to identify the outliers and visualize the actual spread of the data in a sample.

Detection of Black Holes
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...
