Space Warps II. New Gravitational Lens Candidates from the CFHTLS Discovered through Citizen Science
Anupreeta More, Aprajita Verma, Philip J. Marshall +18
We report the discovery of 29 promising (and 59 total) new lens candidates from the CFHT Legacy Survey (CFHTLS) based on about 11 million classifications performed by citizen scien…
Galaxy Zoo 2: detailed morphological classifications for 304,122 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Kyle W. Willett, Chris J. Lintott, Steven P. Bamford +15
We present the data release for Galaxy Zoo 2 (GZ2), a citizen science project with more than 16 million morphological classifications of 304,122 galaxies drawn from the Sloan Digit…
Galaxy Zoo: dust and molecular gas in early-type galaxies with prominent dust lanes
Sugata Kaviraj, Yuan-Sen Ting, Martin Bureau +9
We study dust and associated molecular gas in 352 nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs) with prominent dust lanes. 65% of these `dusty ETGs' (D-ETGs) are morphologically disturbed, sug…
Galaxy Zoo: Bar Lengths in Nearby Disk Galaxies
Ben Hoyle, Karen. L. Masters, Robert C. Nichol +7
We present an analysis of bar length measurements of 3150 local galaxies in a volume limited sample of low redshift (z < 0.06) disk galaxies. Barred galaxies were initially selecte…
Galaxy Zoo: Bars in Disk Galaxies
Karen L. Masters, Robert C. Nichol, Ben Hoyle +8
We present first results from Galaxy Zoo 2, the second phase of the highly successful Galaxy Zoo project (www.galaxyzoo.org). Using a volume-limited sample of 13665 disk galaxies (…
