New tools for studying planarity in galaxy satellite systems: Milky Way satellite planes are consistent with ΛCDM
E. Uzeirbegovic, G. Martin, S. Kaviraj +8
We introduce a new concept -- termed "planarity" -- which aims to quantify planar structure in galaxy satellite systems without recourse to the number or thickness of planes. We us…
Extreme-value modelling of the brightest galaxies at
Cameron Heather, Teeraparb Chantavat, Siri Chongchitnan +1
Data from the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed an intriguing population of bright galaxies at high redshifts. In this work, we use extreme-value statistics to calculate the…
The role of major mergers in the size growth of intermediate-mass spheroids
S. Kaviraj, M. Huertas-Company, S. Cohen +11
We study of the role of major mergers (mass ratios >1:4) in driving size growth in high-redshift (1<z<2) spheroidal galaxies (SGs) with stellar masses between 10^9.5 MSun and 10^10…
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…
