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 fraction of early-type galaxies in low redshift groups and clusters of galaxies

Ben Hoyle, Karen. L. Masters, Robert C. Nichol +2

We examine the fraction of early-type (and spiral) galaxies found in groups and clusters of galaxies as a function of dark matter halo mass. We use morphological classifications fr…

The 2MASS Redshift Survey - Description and Data Release

John P. Huchra, Lucas M. Macri, Karen L. Masters +17

We present the results of the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS), a ten-year project to map the full three-dimensional distribution of galaxies in the nearby Universe. The 2 Micron All-S…

Galaxy Zoo: dust and molecular gas in early-type galaxies with prominent dust lanes

Sugata Kaviraj, Yuan-Sen Ting, Martin Bureau +9

We study dust and associated molecular gas in 352 nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs) with prominent dust lanes. 65% of these `dusty ETGs' (D-ETGs) are morphologically disturbed, sug…

Grand Design and Flocculent Spirals in the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G)

Debra Meloy Elmegreen, the S4G Team

Spiral arm properties of 46 galaxies in the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G) were measured at 3.6mu, where extinction is small and the old stars dominate. The…

The Morphology of Galaxies in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey

Karen L. Masters, Claudia Maraston, Robert C. Nichol +17

We study the morphology of luminous and massive galaxies at 0.3<z<0.7 targeted in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) using publicly available Hubble Space Telescope…
