The environments of starburst and post-starburst galaxies at z=0.4-0.8
Bianca M. Poggianti, Alfonso Aragon-Salamanca, Dennis Zaritsky +16
Post-starburst (E+A or k+a) spectra, characterized by their exceptionally strong Balmer lines in absorption and the lack of emission lines, belong to galaxies in which the star for…
Galaxy Zoo: Chiral correlation function of galaxy spins
Anze Slosar, Kate Land, Steven Bamford +9
Galaxy Zoo is the first study of nearby galaxies that contains reliable information about the spiral sense of rotation of galaxy arms for a sizeable number of galaxies. We measure…
Revealing components of the galaxy population through nonparametric techniques
Steven P. Bamford, Alex L. Rojas, Robert C. Nichol +4
The distributions of galaxy properties vary with environment, and are often multimodal, suggesting that the galaxy population may be a combination of multiple components. The behav…
The relation between star formation, morphology and local density in high redshift clusters and groups
Bianca M. Poggianti, Vandana Desai, Rose Finn +17
We investigate how the [OII] properties and the morphologies of galaxies in clusters and groups at z=0.4-0.8 depend on projected local galaxy density, and compare with the field at…
Galaxy Zoo: the dependence of morphology and colour on environment
Steven P. Bamford, Robert C. Nichol, Ivan K. Baldry +13
We analyse the relationships between galaxy morphology, colour, environment and stellar mass using data for over 100,000 objects from Galaxy Zoo, the largest sample of visually cla…
The evolution of the brightest cluster galaxies since z~1 from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS)
I. M. Whiley, A. Aragon-Salamanca, G. De Lucia +13
[Abridged] We present K-band data for the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey. These data are combined with photometry from Aragon-Salamanca et al…
