A Quasar-Galaxy Mixing Diagram: Quasar Spectral Energy Distribution Shapes in the Optical to Near-Infrared

Heng Hao, Martin Elvis, Angela Bongiorno +19

We define a quasar-galaxy mixing diagram using the slopes of their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from 1μm to 3000Å and from 1μm to 3μm in the rest frame. The mixing diagram…

Spectral Energy Distributions of Type 1 AGN in XMM-COSMOS Survey II - Shape Evolution

Heng Hao, Martin Elvis, Francesca Civano +18

The mid-infrared to ultraviolet (0.1 -- 10 ) spectral energy distribution (SED) shapes of 407 X-ray-selected radio-quiet type 1 AGN in the wide-field ``Cosmic Evolution Survey"…

Chandra Observations of Galaxy Zoo Mergers: Frequency of Binary Active Nuclei in Massive Mergers

Stacy H. Teng, Kevin Schawinski, C. Megan Urry +9

We present the results from a Chandra pilot study of 12 massive galaxy mergers selected from Galaxy Zoo. The sample includes major mergers down to a host galaxy mass of 10 $…

Galaxy Zoo: Quantifying Morphological Indicators of Galaxy Interaction

Kevin R. V. Casteels, Steven P. Bamford, Ramin A. Skibba +6

We use Galaxy Zoo 2 visual classifications to study the morphological signatures of interaction between similar-mass galaxy pairs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We find that many…

Another thread in the tapestry of stellar feedback: X-ray binaries

Stephen Justham, Kevin Schawinski

We consider X-ray binaries (XBs) as potential sources of stellar feedback. XBs observationally appear able to deposit a high fraction of their power output into their local interst…

The Milky Way Project: A statistical study of massive star formation associated with infrared bubbles

Sarah Kendrew, Robert J. Simpson, Eli Bressert +6

The Milky Way Project citizen science initiative recently increased the number of known infrared bubbles in the inner Galactic plane by an order of magnitude compared to previous s…

The Milky Way Project First Data Release: A Bubblier Galactic Disk

R. J. Simpson, M. S. Povich, S. Kendrew +9

We present a new catalogue of 5,106 infrared bubbles created through visual classification via the online citizen science website 'The Milky Way Project'. Bubbles in the new catalo…
