Radio Galaxy Zoo Data Release 1: 100,185 radio source classifications from the FIRST and ATLAS surveys
O. Ivy Wong, A. F. Garon, M. J. Alger +15
Radio galaxies can extend far beyond the stellar component of their originating host galaxies, and their radio emission can consist of multiple discrete components. Furthermore, th…
Evidence for non-merger co-evolution of galaxies and their supermassive black holes
R. J. Smethurst, R. S. Beckmann, B. D. Simmons +7
Recent observational and theoretical studies have suggested that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) grow mostly through non-merger (`secular') processes. Since galaxy mergers lead to…
Supermassive black holes in merger-free galaxies have higher spins which are preferentially aligned with their host galaxy
R. S. Beckmann, R. J. Smethurst, B. D. Simmons +7
Here we use the Horizon-AGN simulation to test whether the spins of SMBHs in merger-free galaxies are higher. We select samples using an observationally motivated bulge-to-total ma…
Radio Galaxy Zoo: host galaxies and radio morphologies derived from visual inspection
J. K. Banfield, O. I. Wong, K. W. Willett +33
We present results from the first twelve months of operation of Radio Galaxy Zoo, which upon completion will enable visual inspection of over 170,000 radio sources to determine the…
Obscured GOODS AGN and Their Host Galaxies at z < 1.25: The Slow Black Hole Growth Phase
B. D. Simmons, J. Van Duyne, C. M. Urry +4
We compute black hole masses and bolometric luminosities for 87 obscured AGN in the redshift range 0.25 < z < 1.25, selected from the GOODS deep multi-wavelength survey fields via…
