Structural Decomposition of Merger-Free Galaxies Hosting Luminous AGNs

Matthew J. Fahey, Izzy. L. Garland, Brooke. D. Simmons +10

Active galactic nucleus (AGN) growth in disk-dominated, merger-free galaxies is poorly understood, largely due to the difficulty in disentangling the AGN emission from that of the…

Galaxy Zoo: Morphologies based on UKIDSS NIR Imaging for 71,052 Galaxies

Karen L. Masters, Melanie Galloway, Lucy Fortson +6

We present morphological classifications based on Galaxy Zoo analysis of 71,052 galaxies with imaging from the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS).…

The Strength of Bisymmetric Modes in SDSS-IV/MaNGA Barred Galaxy Kinematics

Brian DiGiorgio Zanger, Kyle B. Westfall, Kevin Bundy +7

The SDSS-IV/MaNGA Survey data provide an unprecedented opportunity to study the internal motions of galaxies and, in particular, represent the largest sample of barred galaxy kinem…

Galaxy Zoo DESI: large-scale bars as a secular mechanism for triggering AGN

Izzy L. Garland, Mike Walmsley, Maddie S. Silcock +13

Despite the evidence that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) co-evolve with their host galaxy, and that most of the growth of these SMBHs occurs via merger-free processes, the underl…

The effects of bar strength and kinematics on galaxy evolution: slow strong bars affect their hosts the most

Tobias Géron, R. J. Smethurst, Chris Lintott +5

We study how bar strength and bar kinematics affect star formation in different regions of the bar by creating radial profiles of EW[H] and D4000 using data from SDSS-…

The ALMaQUEST Survey XV: The Dependence of the Molecular-to-Atomic Gas Ratios on Resolved Optical Diagnostics

Niankun Yu, Zheng Zheng, Chao-Wei Tsai +14

The atomic-to-molecular gas conversion is a critical step in the baryon cycle of galaxies, which sets the initial conditions for subsequent star formation and influences the multi-…

Using HI observations of low-mass galaxies to test ultra-light axion dark matter

James T. Garland, Karen L. Masters, Daniel Grin

We evaluate recent and upcoming low-redshift neutral hydrogen (HI) surveys as a cosmological probe of small scale structure with a goal of determining the survey criteria necessary…
