The most luminous, merger-free AGN show only marginal correlation with bar presence
Izzy L. Garland, Matthew J. Fahey, Brooke D. Simmons +13
The role of large-scale bars in the fuelling of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is still debated, even as evidence mounts that black hole growth in the absence of galaxy mergers cumul…
Harnessing the Hubble Space Telescope Archives: A Catalogue of 21,926 Interacting Galaxies
David O'Ryan, Bruno Merín, Brooke D. Simmons +13
Mergers play a complex role in galaxy formation and evolution. Continuing to improve our understanding of these systems require ever larger samples, which can be difficult (even im…
Galaxy Zoo: Kinematics of strongly and weakly barred galaxies
Tobias Géron, Rebecca J. Smethurst, Chris Lintott +8
We study the bar pattern speeds and corotation radii of 225 barred galaxies, using IFU data from MaNGA and the Tremaine-Weinberg method. Our sample, which is divided between strong…
Quantifying the Poor Purity and Completeness of Morphological Samples Selected by Galaxy Colour
Rebecca J. Smethurst, Karen L. Masters, Brooke D. Simmons +7
The galaxy population is strongly bimodal in both colour and morphology, and the two measures correlate strongly, with most blue galaxies being late-types (spirals) and most early-…
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…
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…
