An infrared study of local galaxy mergers

Alfredo Carpineti, Sugata Kaviraj, Ashley K. Hyde +4

We combine a large, homogeneous sample of 3000 local mergers with the Imperial IRAS Faint Source Redshift Catalogue (IIFSCz), to perform a blind far-infrared (FIR) study of t…

Chandra Observations of Galaxy Zoo Mergers: Frequency of Binary Active Nuclei in Massive Mergers

Stacy H. Teng, Kevin Schawinski, C. Megan Urry +9

We present the results from a Chandra pilot study of 12 massive galaxy mergers selected from Galaxy Zoo. The sample includes major mergers down to a host galaxy mass of 10 $…

Galaxy Zoo: Multi-Mergers and the Millennium Simulation

D. W. Darg, S. Kaviraj, C. J. Lintott +5

We present a catalogue of 39 multiple-mergers found using the mergers catalogue of the Galaxy Zoo project for and compare them to corresponding semi-analytical galaxies fro…

Galaxy Zoo: The properties of merging galaxies in the nearby Universe - local environments, colours, masses, star-formation rates and AGN activity

D. W. Darg, S. Kaviraj, C. J. Lintott +12

Following the study of Darg et al. (2009; hereafter D09a) we explore the environments, optical colours, stellar masses, star formation and AGN activity in a sample of 3003 pairs of…

Galaxy Zoo: the fraction of merging galaxies in the SDSS and their morphologies

D. W. Darg, S. Kaviraj, C. J. Lintott +13

We present the largest, most homogeneous catalogue of merging galaxies in the nearby universe obtained through the Galaxy Zoo project - an interface on the world-wide web enabling…
