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…

HI Rich but Low Star Formation galaxies in MaNGA: Physical Properties and Comparison to Control Samples

Anubhav Sharma, Karen L. Masters, David V. Stark +4

Gas rich galaxies are typically star-forming. We make use of HI-MaNGA, a program of HI follow-up for the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey of the S…

Galaxy Zoo DESI: Detailed Morphology Measurements for 8.7M Galaxies in the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys

Mike Walmsley, Tobias Géron, Sandor Kruk +13

We present detailed morphology measurements for 8.67 million galaxies in the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys (DECaLS, MzLS, and BASS, plus DES). These are automated measurements made b…

Post-Starburst Properties of Post-Merger Galaxies

Wenhao Li, Preethi Nair, Kate Rowlands +10

Post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) are transition galaxies showing evidence of recent rapid star formation quenching. To understand the role of galaxy mergers in triggering quenching,…

Mass and Color Dependence of the Hubble Spiral Sequence

Petra Mengistu, Karen Masters

In the classic Hubble spiral sequence, arm windiness correlates with bulge size; Sa type spiral galaxies with larger bulges also have the most tightly wound spirals. Exceptions to…

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…
