Galaxy Zoo: Observing Secular Evolution Through Bars
Edmond Cheung, E. Athanassoula, Karen L. Masters +10
In this paper, we use the Galaxy Zoo 2 dataset to study the behavior of bars in disk galaxies as a function of specific star formation rate (SSFR), and bulge prominence. Our sample…
Morphology in the Era of Large Surveys
Chris Lintott, Karen Masters, Brooke Simmons +2
The study of galaxies has changed dramatically over the past few decades with the advent of large-scale astronomical surveys. These large collaborative efforts have made available…
Galaxy Zoo 2: detailed morphological classifications for 304,122 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Kyle W. Willett, Chris J. Lintott, Steven P. Bamford +15
We present the data release for Galaxy Zoo 2 (GZ2), a citizen science project with more than 16 million morphological classifications of 304,122 galaxies drawn from the Sloan Digit…
WISE TF: A Mid-infrared, 3.4-micron Extension of the Tully-Fisher Relation Using WISE Photometry
David J. Lagattuta, Jeremy R. Mould, Lister Staveley-Smith +5
We present a mid-infrared Tully-Fisher (TF) relation using photometry from the 3.4-micron W1 band of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite. The WISE TF relation…
A Zoo of Galaxies
Karen L. Masters
We live in a universe filled with galaxies with an amazing variety of sizes and shapes. One of the biggest challenges for astronomers working in this field is to understand how all…
The different star-formation histories of blue and red spiral and elliptical galaxies
Rita Tojeiro, Karen L. Masters, Joshua Richards +6
[Abridged] We study the spectral properties of intermediate mass galaxies as a function of colour and morphology. We use Galaxy Zoo to define three morphological classes of galaxie…
