Galaxy-SMBH co-evolution in 2,435 DESI disk galaxies and merger-free BH growth in bulgeless disks

Sophie M. Jewell, Rebecca J. Smethurst, Chris J. Lintott +8

We analyse black hole scaling relations for disk-dominated galaxies, and present evidence for secularly driven galaxy-black hole co-evolution. We do this observationally by looking…

Structural Decomposition of Merger-Free Galaxies Hosting Luminous AGNs

Matthew J. Fahey, Izzy. L. Garland, Brooke. D. Simmons +10

Active galactic nucleus (AGN) growth in disk-dominated, merger-free galaxies is poorly understood, largely due to the difficulty in disentangling the AGN emission from that of the…

Finding radio transients with anomaly detection and active learning based on volunteer classifications

Alex Andersson, Chris Lintott, Rob Fender +9

In this work we explore the applicability of unsupervised machine learning algorithms to finding radio transients. Facilities such as the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will provide…

Galaxy Zoo: Morphologies based on UKIDSS NIR Imaging for 71,052 Galaxies

Karen L. Masters, Melanie Galloway, Lucy Fortson +6

We present morphological classifications based on Galaxy Zoo analysis of 71,052 galaxies with imaging from the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS).…

Galaxy Zoo DESI: large-scale bars as a secular mechanism for triggering AGN

Izzy L. Garland, Mike Walmsley, Maddie S. Silcock +13

Despite the evidence that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) co-evolve with their host galaxy, and that most of the growth of these SMBHs occurs via merger-free processes, the underl…

The effects of bar strength and kinematics on galaxy evolution: slow strong bars affect their hosts the most

Tobias Géron, R. J. Smethurst, Chris Lintott +5

We study how bar strength and bar kinematics affect star formation in different regions of the bar by creating radial profiles of EW[H] and D4000 using data from SDSS-…
