Abstract: We apply the deep learning architecture ResNet-50 trained on Sloan Digital Sky Survey image thumbnails labeled from a combination of bright (r < 19.4) tagged Perseus Cluster data and existing spectroscopic data (0.01 < z < 0.033) to classify galaxies by cluster membership. On an independent test set we find that our method achieves promising results on relevant classification metrics.
