Galaxy Zoo: the effect of bar-driven fueling on the presence of an active galactic nucleus in disc galaxies

Melanie A. Galloway, Kyle W. Willett, Lucy F. Fortson +7

We study the influence of the presence of a strong bar in disc galaxies which host an active galactic nucleus (AGN). Using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and morphological…
