Galaxy And Mass Assembly: A Comparison between Galaxy-Galaxy Lens Searches in KiDS/GAMA
Shawn Knabel, Rebecca L. Steele, Benne W. Holwerda +9
Strong gravitational lenses are a rare and instructive type of astronomical object. Identification has long relied on serendipity, but different strategies -- such as mixed spectro…
The Sizes of Galaxies Identified in the BoRG Survey
Benne W. Holwerda, Joanna S. Bridge, Rebecca L. Steele +5
Redshift object selection is the effective limit of Hubble Space Telescope imaging capability, even when confirmed with Spitzer. If only a few photometry data points are…
The frequency of dust lanes in edge-on spiral galaxies identified by Galaxy Zoo in KiDS imaging of GAMA targets
B. W. Holwerda, L. Kelvin, I. Baldry +20
Dust lanes bisect the plane of a typical edge-on spiral galaxy as a dark optical absorption feature. Their appearance is linked to the gravitational stability of spiral disks; the…
The Super Eight Galaxies: Properties of a Sample of Very Bright Galaxies at
Joanna S. Bridge, Benne W. Holwerda, Mauro Stefanon +12
We present the Super Eight galaxies - a set of very luminous, high-redshift () galaxy candidates found in Brightest of Reionizing Galaxies (BoRG) Survey fields. The orig…
