Chemical element ratios of SDSS early-type galaxies

Jonas Johansson, Daniel Thomas, Claudia Maraston

We discuss chemical enrichments of ~4000 SDSS early-type galaxies using as tracers the element abundance ratios [C/Fe], [N/Fe], [O/Fe], [Mg/Fe], [Ca/Fe] and [Ti/Fe]. We utilise the…

Galaxy Zoo: building the low-mass end of the red sequence with local post-starburst galaxies

O. Ivy Wong, K. Schawinski, S. Kaviraj +12

We present a study of local post-starburst galaxies (PSGs) using the photometric and spectroscopic observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the results from the Ga…

Galaxy Zoo: The Environmental Dependence of Bars and Bulges in Disc Galaxies

Ramin A. Skibba, Karen L. Masters, Robert C. Nichol +8

We present an analysis of the environmental dependence of bars and bulges in disc galaxies, using a volume-limited catalogue of 15810 galaxies at z<0.06 from the Sloan Digital Sky…

The stellar, molecular gas and dust content of the host galaxies of two z~2.8 dust obscured quasars

Mark Lacy, Andreea O. Petric, Alejo Martinez-Sansigre +4

We present optical through radio observations of the host galaxies of two dust obscured, luminous quasars selected in the mid-infrared, at z=2.62 and z=2.99, including a search for…

The fraction of early-type galaxies in low redshift groups and clusters of galaxies

Ben Hoyle, Karen. L. Masters, Robert C. Nichol +2

We examine the fraction of early-type (and spiral) galaxies found in groups and clusters of galaxies as a function of dark matter halo mass. We use morphological classifications fr…

The 2MASS Redshift Survey - Description and Data Release

John P. Huchra, Lucas M. Macri, Karen L. Masters +17

We present the results of the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS), a ten-year project to map the full three-dimensional distribution of galaxies in the nearby Universe. The 2 Micron All-S…
