The star formation rates of active galactic nuclei host galaxies
Sara L. Ellison, Hossen Teimoorinia, David J. Rosario +1
Using artificial neural network (ANN) predictions of total infra-red luminosities (LIR), we compare the host galaxy star formation rates (SFRs) of ~21,000 optically selected active…
The infra-red luminosities of ~332,000 SDSS galaxies predicted from artificial neural networks and the Herschel Stripe 82 survey
Sara L. Ellison, Hossein Teimoorinia, David J. Rosario +1
The total infra-red (IR) luminosity (L_IR) can be used as a robust measure of a galaxy's star formation rate (SFR), even in the presence of an active galactic nucleus (AGN), or whe…
Galaxy pairs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey - IX: Merger-induced AGN activity as traced by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer
Shobita Satyapal, Sara L. Ellison, William McAlpine +3
Interactions between galaxies are predicted to cause gas inflows that can potentially trigger nuclear activity. Since the inflowing material can obscure the central regions of inte…
Bulge mass is king: The dominant role of the bulge in determining the fraction of passive galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Asa F. L. Bluck, J. Trevor Mendel, Sara L. Ellison +4
We investigate the origin of galaxy bimodality by quantifying the relative role of intrinsic and environmental drivers to the cessation (or `quenching') of star formation in over h…
A catalog of bulge, disk, and total stellar mass estimates for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
J. Trevor Mendel, Luc Simard, Michael Palmer +2
We present a catalog of bulge, disk, and total stellar mass estimates for ~660,000 galaxies in the Legacy area of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. These masses are base…
Galaxy pairs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey - VIII: The observational properties of post-merger galaxies
Sara L. Ellison, J. Trevor Mendel, David R. Patton +1
In order to investigate the effects of galaxy mergers throughout the interaction sequence, we present a study of 10,800 galaxies in close pairs and a smaller sample of 97 post-merg…
Towards a physical picture of star-formation quenching: the photometric properties of recently-quenched galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
J. Trevor Mendel, Luc Simard, Sara L. Ellison +1
We select a sample of young passive galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 in order to study the processes that quench star formation in the local universe. Quen…
Galaxy Pairs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey - V. Tracing changes in star formation rate and metallicity out to separations of 80 kpc
Jillian M. Scudder, Sara L. Ellison, Paul Torrey +2
We present a sample of 1899 galaxies with a close companion taken from the SDSS DR7. The galaxy pairs are selected to have velocity differences < 300 km/s, projected separations (r…
A Catalog of Bulge+Disk Decompositions and Updated Photometry for 1.12 Million Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Luc Simard, J. Trevor Mendel, David R. Patton +2
We perform two-dimensional, Point-Spread-Function-convolved, bulge+disk decompositions in the and bandpasses on a sample of 1,123,718 galaxies from the Legacy area of the S…
