The LSST Data Mining Research Agenda
K. D. Borne, J. Becla, I. Davidson +2
We describe features of the LSST science database that are amenable to scientific data mining, object classification, outlier identification, anomaly detection, image quality assur…
Galaxy Zoo: Chiral correlation function of galaxy spins
Anze Slosar, Kate Land, Steven Bamford +9
Galaxy Zoo is the first study of nearby galaxies that contains reliable information about the spiral sense of rotation of galaxy arms for a sizeable number of galaxies. We measure…
Reliable Eigenspectra for New Generation Surveys
Tamas Budavari, Vivienne Wild, Alexander S. Szalay +2
We present a novel technique to overcome the limitations of the applicability of Principal Component Analysis to typical real-life data sets, especially astronomical spectra. Our n…
Galaxy Zoo: the dependence of morphology and colour on environment
Steven P. Bamford, Robert C. Nichol, Ivan K. Baldry +13
We analyse the relationships between galaxy morphology, colour, environment and stellar mass using data for over 100,000 objects from Galaxy Zoo, the largest sample of visually cla…
Galaxy Zoo: The large-scale spin statistics of spiral galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Kate Land, Anze Slosar, Chris Lintott +9
We re-examine the evidence for a violation of large-scale statistical isotropy in the distribution of projected spin vectors of spiral galaxies. We have a sample of s…
