Secularly powered outflows from AGN: the dominance of non-merger driven supermassive black hole growth
Rebecca Smethurst, Brooke Simmons, Chris Lintott +1
Recent observations and simulations have revealed the dominance of secular processes over mergers in driving the growth of both supermassive black holes (SMBH) and galaxy evolution…
The X-ray and radio activity of typical and luminous Lya emitters from z~2 to z~6: evidence for a diverse, evolving population
João Calhau, David Sobral, Sérgio Santos +6
Despite recent progress in understanding Lyman-alpha (Lya) emitters (LAEs), relatively little is known regarding their typical black hole activity across cosmic time. Here, we stud…
Galaxy Zoo: Probabilistic Morphology through Bayesian CNNs and Active Learning
Mike Walmsley, Lewis Smith, Chris Lintott +10
We use Bayesian convolutional neural networks and a novel generative model of Galaxy Zoo volunteer responses to infer posteriors for the visual morphology of galaxies. Bayesian CNN…
Galaxy Zoo: Unwinding the Winding Problem - Observations of Spiral Bulge Prominence and Arm Pitch Angles Suggest Local Spiral Galaxies are Winding
Karen L. Masters, Chris J. Lintott, Ross E. Hart +8
We use classifications provided by citizen scientists though Galaxy Zoo to investigate the correlation between bulge size and arm winding in spiral galaxies. Whilst the traditional…
SNITCH: Seeking a simple, informative star formation history inference tool
R. J. Smethurst, M. Merrifield, C. J. Lintott +7
Deriving a simple, analytic galaxy star formation history (SFH) using observational data is a complex task without the proper tool to hand. We therefore present SNITCH, an open sou…
