SNe Ia host galaxy properties from Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II spectroscopy

Jonas Johansson, Daniel Thomas, Janine Pforr +7

We study the stellar populations of SNe Ia host galaxies using SDSS-II spectroscopy. We focus on the relationships of SNe Ia properties with stellar velocity dispersion and the ste…

The significance of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect revisited

Tommaso Giannantonio, Robert Crittenden, Robert Nichol +1

We revisit the state of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect measurements in light of newly available data and address criticisms about the measurements which have recently been…

Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): The mass-metallicity relationship

C. Foster, A. M. Hopkins, M. Gunawardhana +37

Context: The mass-metallicity relationship (MMR) of star-forming galaxies is well-established, however there is still some disagreement with respect to its exact shape and its poss…

Stellar velocity dispersions and emission line properties of SDSS-III/BOSS galaxies

D. Thomas, O. Steele, C. Maraston +24

We perform a spectroscopic analysis of 492,450 galaxy spectra from the first two years of observations of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III/Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey…

Stellar masses of SDSS-III BOSS galaxies at z~0.5 and constraints to galaxy formation models

Claudia Maraston, Janine Pforr, Bruno M. Henriques +27

We calculate stellar masses for massive luminous galaxies at redshift 0.2-0.7 using the first two years of data from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). Stellar mas…

Galaxy Zoo: Bulgeless Galaxies With Growing Black Holes

B. D. Simmons, C. Lintott, K. Schawinski +8

The growth of supermassive black holes appears to be driven by galaxy mergers, violent merger-free processes and/or `secular' processes. In order to quantify the effects of secular…
