Local Gravity versus Local Velocity: Solutions for and nonlinear bias
Marc Davis, Adi Nusser, Karen Masters +3
(abridged) We perform a reconstruction of the cosmological large scale flows in the nearby Universe using two complementary observational sets. The first, the SFI++ sample of Tully…
The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S^4G)
Kartik Sheth, Michael Regan, Joannah L. Hinz +35
The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies S^4G is an Exploration Science Legacy Program approved for the Spitzer post-cryogenic mission. It is a volume-, magnitude-, and…
Mid-Infrared Galaxy Morphology from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S^4G): The Imprint of the de Vaucouleurs Revised Hubble-Sandage Classification System at 3.6 microns
R. Buta, K. Sheth, M. Regan +17
Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) imaging provides an opportunity to study all known morphological types of galaxies in the mid-IR at a depth significantly bette…
The ACS Fornax Cluster Survey VII. Half-Light Radii of Globular Clusters in Early-Type Galaxies
Karen L. Masters, Andres Jordan, Patrick Cote +6
We measure the half-light radii of globular clusters (GCs) in 43 galaxies from the ACS Fornax Cluster Survey (ACSFCS). We use these data to extend previous work in which the enviro…
Galaxy Zoo: Bars in Disk Galaxies
Karen L. Masters, Robert C. Nichol, Ben Hoyle +8
We present first results from Galaxy Zoo 2, the second phase of the highly successful Galaxy Zoo project (www.galaxyzoo.org). Using a volume-limited sample of 13665 disk galaxies (…
Galaxy Zoo: Dust in Spirals
Karen L. Masters, Robert C. Nichol, Steven Bamford +12
We investigate the effect of dust on spiral galaxies by measuring the inclination-dependence of optical colours for 24,276 well-resolved SDSS galaxies visually classified in Galaxy…
Black hole growth and host galaxy morphology
Kevin Schawinski, C. Megan Urry, Shanil Virani +11
We use data from large surveys of the local Universe (SDSS+Galaxy Zoo) to show that the galaxy-black hole connection is linked to host morphology at a fundamental level. The fracti…
Galaxy Zoo: The fundamentally different co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their early- and late-type host galaxies
Kevin Schawinski, C. Megan Urry, Shanil Virani +18
We use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and visual classifications of morphology from the Galaxy Zoo project to study black hole growth in the nearby Universe (z < 0.05) and…
