RefactorInsight: Enhancing IDE Representation of Changes in Git with Refactorings Information

Zarina Kurbatova, Vladimir Kovalenko, Ioana Savu +6

Inspection of code changes is a time-consuming task that constitutes a big part of everyday work of software engineers. Existing IDEs provide little information about the semantics…

Galaxy Zoo: building the low-mass end of the red sequence with local post-starburst galaxies

O. Ivy Wong, K. Schawinski, S. Kaviraj +12

We present a study of local post-starburst galaxies (PSGs) using the photometric and spectroscopic observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the results from the Ga…

Galaxy Zoo 1 : Data Release of Morphological Classifications for nearly 900,000 galaxies

Chris Lintott, Kevin Schawinski, Steven Bamford +11

Morphology is a powerful indicator of a galaxy's dynamical and merger history. It is strongly correlated with many physical parameters, including mass, star formation history and t…

Galaxy Zoo: Dust in Spirals

Karen L. Masters, Robert C. Nichol, Steven Bamford +12

We investigate the effect of dust on spiral galaxies by measuring the inclination-dependence of optical colours for 24,276 well-resolved SDSS galaxies visually classified in Galaxy…

Galaxy Zoo: The fundamentally different co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their early- and late-type host galaxies

Kevin Schawinski, C. Megan Urry, Shanil Virani +18

We use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and visual classifications of morphology from the Galaxy Zoo project to study black hole growth in the nearby Universe (z < 0.05) and…

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…
