Radio Galaxy Zoo: host galaxies and radio morphologies derived from visual inspection

J. K. Banfield, O. I. Wong, K. W. Willett +33

We present results from the first twelve months of operation of Radio Galaxy Zoo, which upon completion will enable visual inspection of over 170,000 radio sources to determine the…

Measuring galaxy environments in large scale photometric surveys

James Etherington, Daniel Thomas

The properties of galaxies in the local universe have been shown to depend upon their environment. Future large scale photometric surveys such as DES and Euclid will be vital to ga…

DES J0454-4448: Discovery of the First Luminous z > 6 Quasar from the Dark Energy Survey

S. L. Reed, R. G. McMahon, M. Banerji +59

We present the first results of a survey for high redshift, z 6, quasars using izY multi-colour photometric observations from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Here we report the…

Galaxy Zoo: the dependence of the star formation-stellar mass relation on spiral disk morphology

Kyle W. Willett, Kevin Schawinski, Brooke D. Simmons +9

We measure the stellar mass-star formation rate relation in star-forming disk galaxies at z<0.085, using Galaxy~Zoo morphologies to examine different populations of spirals as clas…

Misalignment between cold gas and stellar components in early-type galaxies

O. Ivy Wong, K. Schawinski, G. I. G. Józsa +5

Recent work suggests blue ellipticals form in mergers and migrate quickly from the blue cloud of star-forming galaxies to the red sequence of passively evolving galaxies, perhaps a…
