Spheroidal post-mergers in the local Universe
Alfredo Carpineti, Sugata Kaviraj, Daniel Darg +3
Galaxy merging is a fundamental aspect of the standard hierarchical galaxy formation paradigm. Recently, the Galaxy Zoo project has compiled a large, homogeneous catalogue of 3373…
The distribution of interplanetary dust between 0.96 and 1.04 AU as inferred from impacts on the STEREO spacecraft observed by the Heliospheric Imagers
C. J. Davis, J. A. Davies, O. C St Cyr +9
The distribution of dust in the ecliptic plane between 0.96 and 1.04 AU has been inferred from impacts on the two STEREO spacecraft through observation of secondary particle trails…
Galaxy Zoo: building the low-mass end of the red sequence with local post-starburst galaxies
O. Ivy Wong, K. Schawinski, S. Kaviraj +12
We present a study of local post-starburst galaxies (PSGs) using the photometric and spectroscopic observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the results from the Ga…
Galaxy Zoo: The Environmental Dependence of Bars and Bulges in Disc Galaxies
Ramin A. Skibba, Karen L. Masters, Robert C. Nichol +8
We present an analysis of the environmental dependence of bars and bulges in disc galaxies, using a volume-limited catalogue of 15810 galaxies at z<0.06 from the Sloan Digital Sky…
The Galaxy Zoo survey for giant AGN-ionized clouds: past and present black-hole accretion events
William C. Keel, S. Drew Chojnowski, Vardha N. Bennert +8
Some active galactic nuclei (AGN) are surrounded by extended emission-line regions (EELRs), which trace both the illumination pattern of escaping radiation and its history over the…
Planet Hunters: The First Two Planet Candidates Identified by the Public using the Kepler Public Archive Data
Debra Fischer, Megan Schwamb, Kevin Schawinski +28
Planet Hunters is a new citizen science project, designed to engage the public in an exoplanet search using NASA Kepler public release data. In the first month after launch, users…
