Further Classification of Young Stellar Objects via Computational Topology

We investigate the shape of color space data for Young Stellar Objects cataloged in the NASA archive MIRES using Computational Topology. Mapper was used to construct graphical summaries of the 6-dimensional and 21-dimensional color space data for all 18 star forming regions and we observed that the data from certain regions separated into multiple connected components. These patterns were cross-checked with possible astronomical explanations and we found no match. This suggests a new insight into the color space data of YSOs and opportunities for further research.
