Galaxy Zoo: Observing Secular Evolution Through Bars
Edmond Cheung, E. Athanassoula, Karen L. Masters +10
In this paper, we use the Galaxy Zoo 2 dataset to study the behavior of bars in disk galaxies as a function of specific star formation rate (SSFR), and bulge prominence. Our sample…
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: Bulgeless Galaxies With Growing Black Holes
B. D. Simmons, C. Lintott, K. Schawinski +8
The growth of supermassive black holes appears to be driven by galaxy mergers, violent merger-free processes and/or `secular' processes. In order to quantify the effects of secular…
Searching for new OH megamasers out to redshifts z>1
Kyle W. Willett
We have carried out a search for 18-cm OH megamaser (OHM) emission with the Green Bank Telescope. The targeted galaxies comprise a sample of 121 ULIRGs at 0.09<z<1.5, making this t…
Mid-infrared properties of OH megamaser host galaxies. II: Analysis and modeling of the maser environment
Kyle W. Willett, Jeremy Darling, Henrik W. W. Spoon +2
We present a comparison of Spitzer IRS data for 51 OH megamaser (OHM) hosts and 15 non-masing ULIRGs. 10-25% of OHMs show evidence for the presence of an AGN, significantly lower t…
Mid-infrared properties of OH megamaser host galaxies. I: Spitzer IRS low- and high-resolution spectroscopy
Kyle W. Willett, Jeremy Darling, Henrik W. W. Spoon +2
We present mid-infrared spectra and photometry from the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope for 51 OH megamasers (OHMs), along with 15 galaxies confirmed to have n…
