FIRST radio galaxy data set containing curated labels of classes FRI, FRII, compact and bent.

ABSTRACT: Automated classification of astronomical sources is often challenging due to the scarcity of labelled training data. We present a data set with a total number of 2158 data items that contains radio galaxy images with their corresponding morphological labels taken from various catalogues [1,2]. The data set is curated by removing duplicates, ambiguous morphological labels and by different meta data formats. The image data was acquired by the VLA FIRST (Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-Centimeters) survey [3]. The morphological labels are collected and the catalogue specific classification definition is converted into a 4-class classification scheme: FRI, FRII, Compact and Bent sources. FRI and FRII correspond to the two classes of the widely used Faranoff-Riley classification [4]. We
