Planet Hunters VII. Discovery of a New Low-Mass, Low-Density Planet (PH3 c) Orbiting Kepler-289 with Mass Measurements of Two Additional Planets (PH3 b and d)
Joseph R. Schmitt, Eric Agol, Katherine M. Deck +18
We report the discovery of one newly confirmed planet ( days, ) and mass determinations of two previously validated Kepler planets, Kepler-…
Ideas for Citizen Science in Astronomy
Philip J. Marshall, Chris J. Lintott, Leigh N. Fletcher
We review the relatively new, internet-enabled, and rapidly-evolving field of citizen science, focusing on research projects in stellar, extragalactic and solar system astronomy th…
Galaxy Zoo: CANDELS Barred Disks and Bar Fractions
B. D. Simmons, Thomas Melvin, Chris Lintott +39
The formation of bars in disk galaxies is a tracer of the dynamical maturity of the population. Previous studies have found that the incidence of bars in disks decreases from the l…
Galaxy Zoo: Are Bars Responsible for the Feeding of Active Galactic Nuclei at 0.2 < z < 1.0?
Edmond Cheung, Jonathan R. Trump, E. Athanassoula +19
We present a new study investigating whether active galactic nuclei (AGN) beyond the local universe are preferentially fed via large-scale bars. Our investigation combines data fro…
HST Imaging of Fading AGN Candidates I: Host-Galaxy Properties and Origin of the Extended Gas
William C. Keel, W. Peter Maksym, Vardha N. Bennert +11
We present narrow- and medium-band HST imaging, with additional supporting ground-based data, for 8 galaxies identified as hosting fading AGN. These have AGN-ionized gas projected…
The Green Valley is a Red Herring: Galaxy Zoo reveals two evolutionary pathways towards quenching of star formation in early- and late-type galaxies
Kevin Schawinski, C. Megan Urry, Brooke D. Simmons +13
We use SDSS+\textit{GALEX}+Galaxy Zoo data to study the quenching of star formation in low-redshift galaxies. We show that the green valley between the blue cloud of star-forming g…
