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: 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…
Galaxy Zoo : 'Hanny's Voorwerp', a quasar light echo?
Chris Lintott, Kevin Schawinski, William Keel +17
We report the discovery of an unusual object near the spiral galaxy IC 2497, discovered by visual inspection of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) as part of the Galaxy Zoo projec…
Galaxy Zoo: A correlation between coherence of galaxy spin chirality and star formation efficiency
Raul Jimenez, Anze Slosar, Licia Verde +11
We report on the finding of a correlation between galaxies' past star formation activity and the degree to which neighbouring galaxies rotation axes are aligned. This is obtained b…
