Major Merging History in CANDELS. I. Evolution of the Incidence of Massive Galaxy-Galaxy Pairs from z=3 to z~0
Kameswara Bharadwaj Mantha, Daniel H. McIntosh, Ryan Brennan +37
The rate of major galaxy-galaxy merging is theoretically predicted to steadily increase with redshift during the peak epoch of massive galaxy development (). We us…
Evidence for Merger-Driven Growth in Luminous, High-z, Obscured AGN in the CANDELS/COSMOS Field
J. L. Donley, J. Kartaltepe, D. Kocevski +27
While major mergers have long been proposed as a driver of both AGN activity and the M-sigma relation, studies of moderate to high redshift Seyfert-luminosity AGN hosts have found…
Radio Galaxy Zoo: A Search for Hybrid Morphology Radio Galaxies
A. D. Kapinska, I. Terentev, O. I. Wong +14
Hybrid morphology radio sources are a rare type of radio galaxy that display different Fanaroff-Riley classes on opposite sides of their nuclei. To enhance the statistical analysis…
Galaxy Zoo: Secular evolution of barred galaxies from structural decomposition of multi-band images
Sandor J. Kruk, Chris J. Lintott, Steven P. Bamford +9
We present the results of two-component (disc+bar) and three-component (disc+bar+bulge) multiwavelength 2D photometric decompositions of barred galaxies in five SDSS bands (…
Galaxy Zoo and SpArcFiRe: Constraints on spiral arm formation mechanisms from spiral arm number and pitch angles
Ross E. Hart, Steven P. Bamford, Wayne B. Hayes +7
In this paper we study the morphological properties of spiral galaxies, including measurements of spiral arm number and pitch angle. Using Galaxy Zoo 2, a stellar mass-complete sam…
Galaxy Zoo: major galaxy mergers are not a significant quenching pathway
Anna K. Weigel, Kevin Schawinski, Neven Caplar +9
We use stellar mass functions to study the properties and the significance of quenching through major galaxy mergers. In addition to SDSS DR7 and Galaxy Zoo 1 data, we use samples…
