520 |a We present astrolink, an efficient and versatile clustering algorithm designed to hierarchically classify astrophysically relevant structures from both synthetic and observational data sets. We build upon clustar-nd, a hierarchical galaxy/(sub)halo finder, so that astrolink now generates a 2D representation of the implicit clustering structure as well as ensuring that clusters are statistically distinct from the noisy density fluctuations implicit within the n-dimensional input data. This redesign replaces the three cluster extraction parameters from clustar-nd with a single parameter, S – the lower statistical significance threshold of clusters, which can be automatically and reliably estimated via a dynamical model-fitting process. We demonstrate the robustness of this approach compared to astrolink’s predecessors by applying each algorithm to a suite of simulated galaxies defined over various feature spaces. We find that astrolink delivers a more powerful clustering performance while being ∼ 27 per cent faster and using less memory than clustar-nd. With these improvements, astrolink is ideally suited to extracting a meaningful set of hierarchical and arbitrarily shaped astrophysical clusters from both synthetic and observational data sets – lending itself as a great tool for morphological decomposition within the context of hierarchical structure formation.
