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: 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…
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…
