Galaxy Zoo DESI: large-scale bars as a secular mechanism for triggering AGN
Izzy L. Garland, Mike Walmsley, Maddie S. Silcock +13
Despite the evidence that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) co-evolve with their host galaxy, and that most of the growth of these SMBHs occurs via merger-free processes, the underl…

Transfer learning for galaxy feature detection: Finding Giant Star-forming Clumps in low redshift galaxies using Faster R-CNN
Jürgen Popp, Hugh Dickinson, Stephen Serjeant +8
Giant Star-forming Clumps (GSFCs) are areas of intensive star-formation that are commonly observed in high-redshift (z>1) galaxies but their formation and role in galaxy evolution…

Galaxy Zoo DESI: Detailed Morphology Measurements for 8.7M Galaxies in the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys
Mike Walmsley, Tobias Géron, Sandor Kruk +13
We present detailed morphology measurements for 8.67 million galaxies in the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys (DECaLS, MzLS, and BASS, plus DES). These are automated measurements made b…
