Investigating Clumpy Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 using the Galaxy Zoo
Vihang Mehta, Claudia Scarlata, Lucy Fortson +7
Giant, star-forming clumps are a common feature prevalent amongst high-redshift star-forming galaxies and play a critical role in shaping their chaotic morphologies and yet, their…
Modeling with the Crowd: Optimizing the Human-Machine Partnership with Zooniverse
Hugh Dickinson, Lucy Fortson, Claudia Scarlata +2
LSST and Euclid must address the daunting challenge of analyzing the unprecedented volumes of imaging and spectroscopic data that these next-generation instruments will generate. A…
Integrating human and machine intelligence in galaxy morphology classification tasks
Melanie R. Beck, Claudia Scarlata, Lucy F. Fortson +8
Quantifying galaxy morphology is a challenging yet scientifically rewarding task. As the scale of data continues to increase with upcoming surveys, traditional classification metho…
Galaxy Zoo: Morphological classification of galaxy images from the Illustris simulation
Hugh Dickinson, Lucy Fortson, Chris Lintott +13
Modern cosmological simulations model the universe with increasing sophistication and at higher spatial and temporal resolutions. These enhancements permit detailed comparisons bet…
A transient search using combined human and machine classifications
Darryl E. Wright, Chris J. Lintott, Stephen J. Smartt +22
Large modern surveys require efficient review of data in order to find transient sources such as supernovae, and to distinguish such sources from artefacts and noise. Much effort h…
Galaxy Zoo: Morphological Classifications for 120,000 Galaxies in HST Legacy Imaging
Kyle W. Willett, Melanie A. Galloway, Steven P. Bamford +18
We present the data release paper for the Galaxy Zoo: Hubble (GZH) project. This is the third phase in a large effort to measure reliable, detailed morphologies of galaxies by usin…
Spectro-polarimetry confirms central powering of a Ly nebula at z=3.09
Melanie Beck, Claudia Scarlata, Matthew Hayes +2
We present a follow-up study to the imaging polarimetry performed by Hayes et. al. 2011 on LAB1 in the SSA22 protocluster region. Arguably the most well-known Lyman- "blob", thi…
The Lyman Continuum Escape Fraction of Low-Mass Star-Forming Galaxies at z~1
Michael J. Rutkowski, Claudia Scarlata, Francesco Haardt +10
To date no direct detection of Lyman continuum emission has been measured for intermediate--redshift z~1 star-forming galaxies . We combine HST grism spectroscopy with GALEX UV and…
Predicting the redshift 2 Halpha luminosity function using [OIII] emission line galaxies
Vihang Mehta, Claudia Scarlata, James W. Colbert +12
Upcoming space-based surveys such as Euclid and WFIRST-AFTA plan to measure Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAOs) in order to study dark energy. These surveys will use IR slitless…
