LSST Science Book, Version 2.0
LSST Science Collaboration, Paul A. Abell, Julius Allison +245
A survey that can cover the sky in optical bands over wide fields to faint magnitudes with a fast cadence will enable many of the exciting science opportunities of the next decade.…
Galaxy Zoo: Passive Red Spirals
Karen L. Masters, Moein Mosleh, A. Kathy Romer +14
We study the spectroscopic properties and environments of red spiral galaxies found by the Galaxy Zoo project. By carefully selecting face-on, disk dominated spirals we construct a…
The Revolution in Astronomy Education: Data Science for the Masses
Kirk D. Borne, Suzanne Jacoby, K. Carney +5
As our capacity to study ever-expanding domains of our science has increased (including the time domain, non-electromagnetic phenomena, magnetized plasmas, and numerous sky surveys…
Galaxy Zoo: Exploring the Motivations of Citizen Science Volunteers
M. Jordan Raddick, Georgia Bracey, Pamela L. Gay +5
The Galaxy Zoo citizen science website invites anyone with an Internet connection to participate in research by classifying galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. As of April…
Galaxy Zoo: Reproducing Galaxy Morphologies Via Machine Learning
Manda Banerji, Ofer Lahav, Chris J. Lintott +10
We present morphological classifications obtained using machine learning for objects in SDSS DR6 that have been classified by Galaxy Zoo into three classes, namely early types, spi…
Galaxy Zoo Green Peas: Discovery of A Class of Compact Extremely Star-Forming Galaxies
Carolin N. Cardamone, Kevin Schawinski, Marc Sarzi +14
We investigate a class of rapidly growing emission line galaxies, known as "Green Peas", first noted by volunteers in the Galaxy Zoo project because of their peculiar bright green…
