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…
Morphology and the Color-Mass Diagram as Clues to Galaxy Evolution at z~1
Meredith C. Powell, C. Megan Urry, Carolin N. Cardamone +4
We study the significance of mergers in the quenching of star formation in galaxies at z~1 by examining their color-mass distributions for different morphology types. We perform tw…
Galaxy Zoo: Morphological Classifications for 120,000 Galaxies in HST Legacy Imaging
Kyle W. Willett, Melanie A. Galloway, Steven P. Bamford +18
We present the data release paper for the Galaxy Zoo: Hubble (GZH) project. This is the third phase in a large effort to measure reliable, detailed morphologies of galaxies by usin…
The Astropy Problem
Demitri Muna, Michael Alexander, Alice Allen +151
The Astropy Project (http://astropy.org) is, in its own words, "a community effort to develop a single core package for Astronomy in Python and foster interoperability between Pyth…
Galaxy Zoo: Quantitative Visual Morphological Classifications for 48,000 galaxies from CANDELS
B. D. Simmons, Chris Lintott, Kyle W. Willett +45
We present quantified visual morphologies of approximately 48,000 galaxies observed in three Hubble Space Telescope legacy fields by the Cosmic And Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic…
Galaxy Zoo: Evidence for rapid, recent quenching within a population of AGN host galaxies
R. J. Smethurst, C. J. Lintott, B. D. Simmons +8
We present a population study of the star formation history of 1244 Type 2 AGN host galaxies, compared to 6107 inactive galaxies. A Bayesian method is used to determine individual…
