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…
